Last year there was a day when I accidentally only sent out the second half of the blog post I had written.
I freaked. Right after I hit send I realized what had happened. I thought the world was going to end right then and there. Everyone would think I’m a chump and unprofessional.
As it turned out, the second half of the blog post was all it needed. No one emailed me complaining that it was weird or confusing. The first part wasn’t needed at all.
It’s worth considering skipping the first part and going straight into what you mean to say.
***Often times the first part, the preamble, the preface is insulation for our fear of saying what we really mean to say.
