  70. <h2 id="what">What is a “now page”?</h2>
  71. <p>
  72. Most websites have a link that says “<strong>about</strong>”.
  73. It goes to a page that tells you something about the background of this person or business.
  74. For short, people just call it an “about page”.
  75. </p>
  76. <p>
  77. Most websites have a link that says “<strong>contact</strong>”.
  78. It goes to a page that tells you how to contact this person or business.
  79. For short, people just call it a “contact page”.
  80. </p>
  81. <p>
  82. So a website with a link that says “<strong>now</strong>”
  83. goes to a page that tells you <strong>what this person is focused on at this point in their life.</strong>
  84. For short, we call it a “now page”.
  85. </p>
  86. <p>
  87. See examples by browsing <a href="/">nownownow.com</a>.
  88. </p>
  89. <p>
  90. Although it’s normal to make the web address “/now”, just like it’s usually “/about” and “/contact” in those other examples, the URL could be anything.
  91. </p>
  92. <h2 id="social">Don’t Twitter and Facebook updates do that?</h2>
  93. <p>
  94. No.
  95. If I wonder how someone is doing these days, it doesn’t help me to see that they went on vacation last week, are upset about something in the news, or even got a new job.
  96. That’s not the big picture.
  97. </p>
  98. <p>
  99. Think of <strong>what you’d tell a friend you hadn’t seen in a year</strong>.
  100. </p>
  101. <p>
  102. Like, “Still living in Dallas, though considering moving to Austin. Working at ABC. Really getting into cycling. The kids are age 3 and 6. I’m reading a lot of Pema Chödrön, and listening to a lot of jazz piano especially Brad Mehldau. I’ve stopped taking on web design clients, since I’d rather keep improving my back-end database work.”
  103. </p>
  104. <p>
  105. That’s what a now page is for.
  106. You can’t get that big picture from any other outlets I’m aware of.
  107. </p>
  108. <h2 id="why">Why do I need a now page?</h2>
  109. <p>
  110. If you’re not already feeling that this would be very useful to you, then you don’t need one.
  111. </p>
  112. <p>
  113. If you don’t already have your own website, with an “about” page that’s about you personally, then this isn’t for you.
  114. </p>
  115. <p>
  116. This isn’t for marketing or attention.
  117. It will not benefit you in any business way.
  118. </p>
  119. <p>
  120. It’s useful <strong>for the same reason an “about” page is useful on your site</strong>: because people on your site want to know more about you.
  121. </p>
  122. <p>
  123. Besides answering the common question, “What are you up to these days?”, those who have a now page say it’s a good reminder of their priorities.
  124. By publicly showing what you are focused on now, it helps you say no to other requests.
  125. </p>
  126. <p>
  127. <em>“A few days ago I added my now page and felt an immediate sense of relief from pitch emails that ignored the fact that I said explicitly on my site that my team and I can’t handle unsolicited pitches. Simple idea. Big impact.”</em> — <a href="http://nerdzach.com/now/">Zach Ware</a>
  128. </p>
  129. <p>
  130. <em>“Any time I’m in something that kind of feels useful or fun, but isn’t clearly aligned with my bigger goals, I pull up my now page and ask ‘Is it on there? Should I add it?’ Most of the time the answer is no, and I move on. Sometimes it’s yes, and when it is, at least it’s an intentional priority shift.”</em> — <a href="http://practicingdeveloper.com/now/">Gregory Brown</a>
  131. </p>
  132. <h2 id="whatnow">So what is nownownow.com?</h2>
  133. <p>
  134. After a few people added a /now page to their site — (<a href="http://sivers.org/nowff">see original story</a>) — <a href="http://gregalbritton.com/now">Greg Albritton</a> suggested we keep <strong>a collection of everyone that has a /now page</strong>.
  135. </p>
  136. <p>
  137. That’s all this is.
  138. It’s not a business.
  139. It’s not social media.
  140. </p>
  141. <p>
  142. <a href="http://sivers.org/now3">See the announcement and story here</a>.
  143. </p>
  144. <h2 id="hownow">How do I get listed on nownownow.com?</h2>
  145. <p>
  146. <strong>If you already have your own website with a /now page on it</strong>, as described and defined above, just email the URL to me at <a href="mailto:derek@sivers.org">derek@sivers.org</a>.
  147. After you do, I’ll email you back with a link to log in and answer a few questions, which, when done, will create a profile page for you.
  148. </p>
  149. <p>
  150. If not, <a href="#how">see below</a>.
  151. </p>
  152. <h2 id="how">How do I make a now page?</h2>
  153. <p>
  154. <strong>If you already have a website, but don’t have a /now page</strong>, just add a new page.
  155. If you’re using WordPress, look for “Pages” on the left, and choose “Add New”.
  156. Give it a “permalink” of /now.
  157. (Sorry I can’t help with tech support.)
  158. </p>
  159. <p>
  160. Write something about what you’re doing now, and publish.
  161. Once it’s online, email me the URL.
  162. </p>
  163. <p>
  164. <strong>If you don’t have a website</strong>, but have been meaning to get one, create a free one at <a href="https://wordpress.com/">wordpress.com</a>.
  165. Before you announce it, I highly recommend getting your own domain name at <a href="https://www.hover.com/">hover.com</a>.
  166. Point your domain to your WordPress blog, and use that.
  167. (Again, sorry I can’t help with tech support, but this is very common stuff, so anyone else can.)
  168. </p>
  169. <p>
  170. A new service called <strong><a href="https://ournows.com/">Our/Nows</a></strong> has set up just to help you make a /now page, without your own website.
  171. </p>
  172. <h2 id="biz">Can we add our business here?</h2>
  173. <p>
  174. No.
  175. Browsing <a href="/">nownownow.com</a> is only interesting because you get a glimpse into people’s lives and how they focus.
  176. </p>
  177. <p>
  178. If it became full of businesses, it would lose its appeal, and I’d probably just shut down this site.
  179. </p>
  180. <p>
  181. If you have a business website that is really just you, then that’s OK.
  182. But other than that, I won’t be adding business sites.
  183. </p>
  184. <h2 id="add">You know what this needs? …</h2>
  185. <p>
  186. Please tell me.
  187. I’m here as a public servant, taking requests.
  188. </p>
  189. <p>
  190. Or just make something first, and let me know.
  191. No need to ask my permission.
  192. </p>
  193. <p>
  194. Some people have done some cool things with this already, like <a href="https://github.com/haroldtreen/query-nownownow">this query tool</a> and <a href="http://nownownow.herokuapp.com/">this word cloud</a>.
  195. </p>
  196. <h2 id="who">Who is behind this?</h2>
  197. <p>
  198. <a href="http://sivers.org/">Derek Sivers</a>.
  199. That’s me.
  200. </p>
  201. <p>
  202. I’m just doing this because people have asked me to.
  203. Email me at <a href="mailto:derek@sivers.org">derek@sivers.org</a> with any questions or suggestions.
