One of our aims for participants on the Digital Action Plan<\/a> is to help form digital habits and some ongoing curiosity.<\/p>\n

People often ask: ‘how can I stay on top of all this stuff?’ The short answer is: you can’t, really. But\u00a0there are other people who are great at identifying trends, inspiring\u00a0ideas and case studies. A bit of effort is needed initially, to find people who you think are\u00a0interesting and who you respect for their knowledge.\u00a0Then you need to\u00a0find a way to keep up with what they’re saying, which suits the rhythm of your week.<\/p>\n

Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are a few people I read regularly, and the way in which I keep up with them:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ben Whitelaw’s Everything in Moderation newsletter<\/a>
    \nBen\u2019s newsletter is a succinct and essential round-up of everything related to how engagement between and within online communities is changing. From how platforms are managing user content through to the dynamics of communities, this has it all.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. James Whatley’s newsletter<\/a>
    \nThe other newsletter. James is a bit of a force around all things digital and prolific across all sorts of channels. You can read his slide decks, tweets, blog posts and listen to podcasts. However, his email newsletter is a neat summary of useful case studies, trends and tech news. There’s a fair few\u00a0film reviews too: read or skip over depending on whether you like cinema too.<\/li>\n
  3. My ‘inspiring tweets’ list
    \n<\/a>To give a little bit of structure to the time I spend on Twitter, I keep a list of people whose tweets I find reliably inspiring, energising, or who often link to interesting articles. I get a lot of energy and some good ideas from this list, and it helps turn what could be a random scrolling session in to a fairly useful part of the day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Experimenting<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Sometimes, I’ll read about a tool or channel that I think might be useful to include in people’s Action Plans. Obviously I need to know how it works, and feel confident using it. That helps me understand how it might work in a corporate context, even if I don’t particularly take to it personally.<\/p>\n

    However, if I download an app, the chances are it’ll sit on my phone, untouched and taking up memory. Therefore,\u00a0I have a little rule about the home screen on my phone: this is reserved for apps that I’m using all the time, plus a few ‘experiments’. Leaving them here prompts\u00a0me to have a play around when I have a few minutes to spare.<\/p>\n
