Some people believe I get too bogged down or is it tied up in words. Writing too much. Going into too much detail. Being too nitpicky about definitions.
No, probably that's not right. I probably should have said, most people think I get too bogged down/tied up in words.
I agree. What a shortcoming. I mean - considering my goal is to help people obtain their business goals, it would be tremendous if most people were saying, Wow - this fellow sure packages his messages well!
Clear.
Crisp.
Delivering accurate, quick & easy wisdom.

So - I've set a new challenge: I must learn to package my messages in ways that appeal to folks who want quick-reading/easy-reading and of course valuable messages. As I write this, I'm thinking fondly about Plucky & Pithy...a post from 2010 and Plucky & Pithy #2 a post from 2012.

People are adapting their reading: to address that, I should boil everyting down to bullet points, 3 at most:
- I get it. Just deliver a stitch in quick time, don't deliver nine.
- I get it. Too much cooking spoils the broth.
- I get it. This also applies to bakers: too much baking spoils the cake.

But, what about the common practice of setting company values, barely defining them, and missing the fact personal values are intimately linked with personal rules:
- How do I ignore that?
- How do I ease off on defining values?
- How do I ease off on explaining the power of deep-set rules reflecting deep-set personal values?
(Changing current habits is going to take some work and some time.)

Perhaps, the people who cannot live with details can offer helpful advice...
(And I'm OK if their advice is detailed.)
