[...] Attention: The way our brains are wired has not changed over time. Our digital world has significantly impacted how we process and focus on information. We pay attention in different ways than people did five years ago and certainly 25 years ago. Your ability to get someone’s attention in less than 1.8 seconds–and keep it for another 1.8 seconds–is critical. By way of our gadgets, we’re bombarded with multimedia messages that beg for our attention. Your written and verbal communication (hate to sound like the SAT’s) must be crisp and engaging. That’s because an infinite number of people have access to you (see Access). They may not be interacting just yet but they are watching. You have their attention. What are you doing with it?

I am glad to hear you are sticking with the blogging. Sometimes it feels like we are just writing and our words land in the abyss. Trust me, you’ll gain some traction, improve your
writing, and develop a following —it just takes time and practice. Go for it!

Hi Tony,

Thank you for commenting. I agree, chunking it down and clarity are essential when blogging. It definitely takes practice and as Godin and Peters said, you’ll be better in so many ways if you stick with it. Congratulations for doing just that! I’m looking forward to reading your posts :)

Fantastic Post Sue! I have committed to “getting more to the point” with my blog posts this year. Chunking it down and getting to the meat much quicker. My blog posts 4 years ago are completely knarly looking. (Horrible comes to mind actually) But yes I’ve stuck with it and gotten a lot better. Next phase, keeping it simple. Thank you!
