I can speak to the blog. First, the daily posting rigor is inspiring. It makes you want to do something useful every day.
Second, many of his blog posts prompt you to ask questions of the work you are doing. They are not always the questions you expect and sometimes the pairing of your current situation and the current blog post are fortuitous.
Third, he has strong, uncommonly held about how to start, continue and finish, and find an audience for meaningful work. Unless you are particularly prolific, his writing should help you raise your expectations for yourself.
Fourth, he’s an executive and product creator and sometimes it’s worth understanding how those people think, whether to emulate them or just to sell to them.
That said, at this point I would start with his books because he’s had so much time to distill his blog ideas into longer writing and it’s better to catch up with a book than to read a lot of old posts.
