One Page

How many papers, documents, surveys, resumes, memo, and any other form of business documentation come across our desk on a daily basis? Beyond the point of frustration with paper there's a terribly unrealistic ability to consume and make any of this information practical for our daily function.

May I suggest a very simple solution - try consolidating everything to one page. At least the core point of each major point you are trying to make - communicate that on one page. One page is concise and beneficial. Anything longer becomes redundant and almost bureaucratic.

Now, I don't believe a presentation must be consolidated to one page - but maybe a sequence of one-page documents.

Give it a shot and see how much easier it is for you to communicate your goals.
