Introduction to Leading and Lagging Indicators in Writing — Custom Image prepared by the author

What is a leading indicator?

A leading indicator is something that is in your control.

For example, let’s take the number of articles you write.

The more articles you write, the better your chances of being discovered by your readers.

This is directly in your control.

Instead of consuming constantly, you can choose to create content.

You can choose to write first thing in the morning.

You can choose to let your views be known.

You can choose to share what you learnt that day with others.

You can choose to help others by your writing.

You can choose to make a name for yourself.

If you are on step #2 of something, then you can choose to show someone who is at step #0 how to reach step #2.

You can choose to stop binge-watching YouTube videos and instead write an article.

You can choose to write online every day and be in better mental health as a result.
