Years ago I used to work as a copywriter & here's every tip I have written down.
Should help you improve your copy/ email in under 5 minutes.
Thread 🧵
1. Words to remove/ delete while editing (because it doesn't affect the meaning in any way):
- very
- just
- really
- that
- quite
- thing (replace with the specific word)
- get or got (pick the more descriptive word)
- ing verbs (the girl is running -> the girl runs)
1) Use positive/neutral language with your children.
Instead of saying, "Don't drop it."
Say, "Hold it firmly."
The same applies to adults.
2) A coworker used to brew coffee every morning for the whole team
Until another colleague told him that his "brewing" skills sucked
He stopped making more coffee for the team after that.
When people do things from the heart, don't smash their good deeds with your poison.

[Thread] @blakeir's tweets are so fun & yet loaded with insights.
My top picks in the thread below:
1) As I get ‘older,’ the only thing that’s become more clear is that literally no one knows what they are doing.
2) It’s crazy that we expect freshman in college to immediately know what industries they want to work in.
There needs to be a better way to discover (and experience) a wide variety of jobs.

Like most of you here I have learnt a lot from watching amazing Youtube videos.
Like articles, I have also collected a list of timeless videos that you might want to revisit every once in a while.
1 like/ 1 RT = I'll add one amazing video that I loved below
1) Persistence when at the bottom. Humility when at the top.
2) Life is too short to take everything seriously.
Being disciplined doesn't mean shutting down your sense of humour.
Work hard, but enjoy life.
Be ruthless with your time, but dedicate some of it to smiling.

[Thread] 10k follower tribute for @growhighHQ
Scraped out his top 6 thoughts:
1) The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.
2) If you give yourself 30 days to clean your home, it will take you 30— but if you give yourself 3h to do it, it will take you 3h to clean.
The same applies to your goal, your ambitions, & your potential. You can create a new life by creating more urgency in your current one.
