So a great way to do this is to look at something you've written, maybe even a text or a document or something, and challenge yourself to say it in half the number of words. How would you do that? And again, I'm not saying that whatever the result of that is in half number of words is the right way to do it. But what we're training our brain in this brevity example is we're training to prioritize.

Here's a great use for AI, by the way. If you've written something, an email, a document, put it in AI and say, make it half as long or highlight just the key elements and then look at what it comes out with. I'm not saying to leverage what it comes out with, but just look at what it has done to make it more concise and then use that as a reference point. Say, oh, you know what it did?

It cut out all the big words. Or do you know what it did? It took all of the action verbs and put them up front. So you begin to see how you can prioritize and get briefer in what you say. So whenever you write something, you can always challenge yourself and say, how would I say this in half as long? By training that process, you train your brain to do that in real time.

Yes, so most of us, as I said, say more than we need to do. We can actually challenge ourselves to say what we're saying with fewer words. This is a game that comes from the world of improvisation, where you start by saying something and then you cut it in half, and then you cut it in half again.

Absolutely. He's got wonderful sayings about communication, but right. It's about self-editing, but doing it very quickly. And the more you practice it, the better you get at it.
