Time Management Articles:
Keep your writing short, simple, and understandable
This article is a follow up to the last blog article titled “Keep your communication clear and concise.” It offers more examples of brevity in writing by eliminating needless words. Take the example of someone setting a “new record” in pole sitting. I have never heard...
Keep your communication clear and concise.
It’s the message in your email, the story in your novel, and the information in your article or nonfiction book that is important to the reader. So, make them as clear and concise as possible. One way of doing this is to avoid converting verbs into nouns. Free the...
