4 Practical Tips That Increase Quality & Creativity (While Doing Less…)
"Recent research in the science of decision-making has shown that too much information can lead to people making objectively poorer choices, choices they later regret.
The research has shown that an unconscious system guides many of our decisions, and that it can be sidelined by too much information.
It also shows that the incubation of ideas needed for true creativity [...] becomes increasingly difficult when information just keeps pouring in."
– "Are You Smothering Your Brain’s True Genius?", Susan Reynolds
1. Business: Research. Decide.
Following 80+ SEO blogs may keep you in the loop but it's not the same as being informed.
When you need to figure out something, go to your trusted sources. Research. Finish. Percolate the information. Decide.
Devour information by pulling it in when needed versus consuming information because it was served to you.
2. Design: Single Focus
Present one product, clearly.
Sell it.
3. Writing: One Idea
Make what you write matter. Stick to one idea per post.
4. Editing: Cut
Be brief.

Number one is so me, i I go through bouts of devouring Evey blog I can, but need to remind myself that as long as I browse my news aggregators and hit the stuff that ally wows me, I'll be OK. After all, if an SEO expert is creating the content, I should be able to find it when I need it, right? Thanks.

Thanks for the comment, Ross.
Scrunching on content is something we all do at times, I guess. Feels like we do stuff — without really doing anything
thanks for the "quick read" compliment, by the way.
