Goal Setting: Writing in a concise way

Goal Setting: Writing in a concise way

One of the building blocks of good goal setting is time management. If you can make the most out of every minute that you are working (remember you still need time to relax), you will have more time to achieve your goals.

One way of saving time for yourself and other people is to write in a concise way. In this modern world we still feel the need to write things in great detail, while that is required for academia and for novels, for business we can get away with writing less and more concise.

As a first rule, try not to use jargon, this wastes everyone’s time if no one knows what it means. Also try not to waffle, think about the message you are trying to get across? Speak it…often that helps.

After you have written a letter or memo etc, go through it. Are there any unnecessary words, sentences or paragraphs? This may take a little longer for the first few times, but in the long run, it will set you well on the way to finding more time.
