I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: keep it short and simple when you try to communicate an idea. Whether you are producing a website or you are talking with a friend, if you want to be heard then keep it short and simple. I agree with an article that suggests that being too wordy typically means you are too focused on your self.

But the very same article was titled, “5 Reasons Why You Should Simplify What You Say, and How to Do It”. That is not a simple title. “Simplify What You Say” would have been sufficient. Despite the oxymoron title, it does point out 5 reasons to keep it simple.

Keeping it simple…

1. …produces clarity.
2. …adds more importance to each word you say.
3. …prevents the listener from getting bored.
4. …prevents you from stroking your own ego.
5. …keeps you generally more focused and aligned.
