On My Mind Monday
I’ve made a lot of tutorials.
For years, I focused on step-by-step clarity—click here, then here, do this, not that. I wanted to make things easier for people who felt overwhelmed by tech. I still care about that.
But something’s changed.
AI can now walk you through just about anything—quicker than I ever could, and often with better precision. That’s not a bad thing. It’s just… different.
So I’ve stepped away from the traditional tutorial. Not because I’ve stopped teaching, but because my reason for sharing has shifted.
Now, instead of “Click here, then here,” I’m more interested in sharing the why.
Why I tried a tool.
Why I let it go.
Why I came back later with different questions.
I’ve started documenting my process—not as a roadmap, but as a story. Sometimes I share what worked. Sometimes I share what confused me. Always, I share what I learned.
Because what I’m doing now isn’t about being the expert. It’s about being a fellow explorer. Someone who’s still curious, still making things, still figuring it out.
Tutorials might be dying.
But storytelling—the kind that makes you feel a little braver to try something new—that’s still very much alive.
And maybe that’s what I was trying to create all along.
So yes, maybe this shift is a good thing.
Because AI can now deliver the steps faster, cleaner, and often with less effort than I ever could.
But what it can’t do—at least not yet—is share the real reason we try, the detours we take, or the quiet joy of figuring it out for ourselves.
That’s the part I want to keep sharing.
Not the how, but the why.
And what it means to keep learning in a world that changes faster than we can keep up.
