One Thought, One Post

Joe Dager, my fellow Duct Tape Marketing Coach in Fort Wayne, IN, posted about a great presentation by Nancy Duarte on his blog recently. While watching Nancy's presentation I was reminded of an important rule to keep in mind when creating presentations - "One Thought, One Slide". This rule helps us stay away from cluttered slides that garble, rather than clarify the point we are trying to make.

I think this is also a great rule to keep in mind when creating blog posts. Rather than trying to write an article or whitepaper in every post, make one point and make it well. One Thought, One Post.

I know this rule will help me be a better blogger, so thanks to Joe and Nancy for reminding me of this important rule.
