Top Three Thursday #12

This week, we learned about sleeping habits, overcoming perfectionism and changing behaviour.

featured: @nesslabs, @DavidDCain, @dickiebush, @JanelSGM @SpencrGreenberg, @Nicolascole77 & @MollyRosbach
The main point of the email is about creating better sleeping habits to improve your productivity.

Here's one of the six tips:

"Never change your wake-up time, ever. Not even during the weekend. Always wake up at the usual time or you'll upset your schedule."
My two recommended reads for this week are:

1. The Nirvana Fallacy by @nesslabs (@anthilemoon)

​The Nirvana Fallacy means that we avoid doing something because the solution is not perfect or the outcome won't be exactly as we imagine it.
2. Make the Power Move by @DavidDCain.

Power moves are small actions that have a huge impact. Getting out of bed after a terrible night of sleep is as easy as swinging your leg over the edge.
My three recommendations for this week:

1. Read "Aging well" by @MollyRosbach

2. Find out how to change behaviour with Spark Wave (by @SpencrGreenberg)

3. Check my threads about writing & newsletters, featuring @dickiebush, @janelSGM and @Nicolascole77

As a personal challenge, I tried to improve the headline and subtitle for each article.

Do let me know what you think.

100 rules to make your everyday writing more punchy and persuasive.

Part I:

1. Avoid long words when there is a shorter alternative.

2. Cut as many words as possible.

3. Avoid foreign phrases, scientific words or jargon if there is an everyday word for it.
4. Be original and replace similes, metaphors or other figures of speech you often read online or in books.

5. Use the words your audience uses to make a connection.

6. Don't use your thesaurus as often; trust the words you know.
7. Delete filler words and meaningless words.

8. Never use more than three prepositions in a single sentence.

9. Make your title as short as possible without changing the meaning.

10. Promise a benefit in the headline instead of stating the content.
