Writing every day for 365 days, I’ve learned to use less jargon and slang. Damn’ ya!

When you record your voice notes to capture your thoughts about your day or your work experience, you are gradually improving the choice of words you use. In particular, when you listen back to your recordings, you will discover so many “Uhm,” “Uh,” “You know” that you will be ashamed of yourself. Mamma mia!

When you go from your personal diary to a blog post or a tweet, you are pushed to be more clear and understandable and less like ˈt͡ɬɪ.ŋɑn xol].

When you pass from notes, drafts, and unstructured thoughts to well-formed essays and articles you have to pass through one or more revisions in which you will carefully remove jargon and slang. LOL.

Writing, recording notes, reviewing, you will improve your communication style by removing unnecessary words and jargon expressions that would make your message more difficult to convey. Noiice!

Practice writing and recording your thoughts, you will talk better and you will write in a cleaner and more understandable way. Capisc’?
