Be Efficient: You wouldn’t choose to work ten hours on something that could be completed in two; you wouldn’t choose to do complex math with a pencil when you have a calculator; don’t choose to waste time and energy by using more words than necessary to convey a message.

How can you become more efficient in your language?

• “Draft” what you’re going to say in your head before sharing.

• Be specific the first time, thus avoiding unnecessary clarifications.

• Build your vocabulary by reading more - you’ll discover single words that can replace 3-5 word phrases you use often.

• Pay attention to both how you speak/write and how others speak/write, and make mental notes when you find cuttable words. Example: “Just sent it to you.” vs. “Sent.”

How the heck does Life Insurance work?

Short & Sweet: Life insurance is a premium that an individual (an insured) pays that guarantees a life insurance company will pay a sum of money to beneficiaries when said individual dies.

Facts:

• It is legally binding.

• There are different types - Term (cheap but expires) vs. Whole (expensive but you never lose the money)

• You can also choose the length of the term (5, 10, 20, and 30 years are most popular).

• Your policy may be cancelled if you miss payments.

Why It Matters: Because you want to make sure your dependents are taken care of should tragedy strike.

Let’s go deeper with ChatGPT on a story about life insurance.

No wallet, no problem: “Thanks to new technology, paying for groceries at Whole Foods Market stores is now, quite literally, in the palm of your hand.” As in, palm-recognition technology that lets you buy food by scanning your hand. Coming to all Whole Foods by end of 2023.
