This week I am going to release 5 short videos explaining how you can take one of your reports and make it more effective.

Each day will be one step of a 5-step process.

Step 1 is to cut out unnecessary paragraphs and sentences.

That means use a chainsaw not a scalpel.

A good place to look for unnecessary words is the opening. Often there is more background and context than the reader needs. They may need only 1 or 2 sentences to tell them what the report is about.

If you can’t bear to lose the words, keep the first draft for posterity and create a duplicate. Then edit the duplicate.
