This is a challenge for me, a challenge I must take > pass > and only remember in laughter that I was once like this.
This post needs not be scrolls long(er). Even closest readers may not have the patience to read it entirely or at all. Actually, at times when looking back at my old long mails, post or memos, etc – I my self do not have the patience or the time to read them.
I guess it gets that long in my case as I try to cover so many thoughts and aspects, and try to clarify. But it can easily get ineffective, the message not understood – not evaluated, no feedback / reply – and literally just into the void.
Sure sometimes the length can work and be as intended, it can make sense, like when you are writing a book I suppose; but most of the times it’s just wasting what could be a possibility to share, get evaluated, evolve.
What can be done? On one hand: attention to details is good, so if you do have the time to write the whole thing (all your thoughts) do it – it can be an interesting exercise to realize how jumbled thoughts can be. But if you want to share or get evaluated, give only the essential and let people know there’s more if they want it… is what I found for my self for now anyway.
An example, instead of a long post on time management – it applies in content management too:
“Collect all in one place > Choose the essential > Eliminate the rest > Organize the remaining”
Got any other perspectives / solutions? (appreciate it)
PS. There’s more.
