nformation overload is a fact of life in today’s tech-driven world.News, notifications, and endless articles flood our screens daily. Most of them? Completely uninvited.

I’ve caught myself wasting chunks of time just scrolling through my feed—sometimes reading, often just ignoring.

But this isn’t a post about digital detoxes or screen time.

A Conversation That Sparked Reflection

A while back, my colleagues and I started hosting casual virtual catch-ups every few weeks. In one of those sessions, a friend casually said:

“Hey, I often see your posts on LinkedIn—are those yours?”

“Yes, they’re mine,” I replied.

That simple question hit me harder than I expected.

For years, I had been curious about everything happening around me, but I was too shy—or maybe too cautious—to share my thoughts publicly.

Breaking Through the Fear

Every time I felt the urge to write, self-doubt crept in.“Is this worth sharing?”“Will anyone care?”“What if I’m wrong?”

It’s easy to copy someone else’s ideas (Ctrl + C).It’s harder to share your own, raw reflections. Worried about mistakes? use AI tools to shape and polish there is nothing wrong with it.

It took courage to publish my first few posts—courage to cut through my pride, ego, and perfectionism just to put myself out there.

The Question for You

So here’s what I want to ask you:

What’s holding you back from doing something you truly care about?Is it fear of being wrong?Or is it the comfort of staying invisible behind a safe wall?

Your Shortcut Keys to Courage

Maybe it’s time to:

• Del — Delete that fear.

• Ctrl + X — Cut through the self-imposed barriers.

• Ctrl + N — Start a new chapter.

You don’t need to be perfect to begin. You only need to be brave enough to start.
