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.
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.

Yes, yes. So my podcast is Think Fast, Talk Smart. The book is Think Faster, Talk Smarter. The Think Fast and Think Faster part are all about pattern recognition. And we have to remind ourselves that whenever we're communicating, patterns are at play. And we have to be looking at those patterns and cataloging those patterns. Many of us are in repetitive situations.

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?

We have meetings with the same people over and over, or we do similar tasks. Like you interview, now you interview different people, but you're interviewing. And you can begin to look and notice patterns. Many of us are just so focused on getting through our communication that we don't spend time focusing on the patterns.
