Anyone who’s ever ironed their clothes will know that one needs to remove the creases on any piece of clothing before actually laying the hot iron down on it. It’s that short preparation that one does before the actual event which makes the effort in the event worth the time. Similarly, I have found that spending a few moments before diving into any activity to remove mental creases and prepare for the activity makes the time spent on the activity much more productive and fulfilling.

Context, Content & Quantity
Being said to whom, where and why? What is the message that needs to be conveyed? How much time do you have?
In any conversation, from telling others what you do to convincing others to buy what you are selling, three things need to be given special attention – Context, Content & Quantity.
Context: Make it as relevant to the listener as possible.
Content: Make it as simple as possible.
Quantity: Conveying the content in as little as possible without affecting the context or the message being conveyed adversely.
