How to Radically Improve Your Writing in Under 2 Minutes

How to Radically Improve Your Writing in Under 2 Minutes | Womens Business | Scoop.it

We're already more than a week into January, but I'm still slowly working my way through all the "best of" year-end lists out there (there are so many of them!). Combing through these recommendations may be time-consuming, but it's worth the commitment, I've found, as sometimes you turn up an absolute gem you missed earlier in the year.

 

Take the post titled "The Two Minutes It Takes to Read This Will Improve Your Writing Forever," by marketer Josh Spector, for example. As short as it is useful, the piece is one of the most recommended posts of 2016, Medium informs me. It's not hard to see why.

 

Spector offers five dead-simple changes you can make to basically any piece of writing in a matter of seconds that will make it more forceful and compelling. We'd all enjoy reading a bit more if more writers followed his tips.

But most of all I wanted to be the best mom I could be. Having come out the other side of a vortex

Remember; you are teaching your children all the time—whether you are physically with them or not.

Working Mothers Raise More Successful Daughters and Empathetic Sons

Working Mothers Raise More Successful Daughters and Empathetic Sons | Womens Business | Scoop.it

A mother's guilt never ends.

 

You can never quite do enough, try juggle enough, be enough in an age where the demands of family, work and (hopefully) a personal life keep you hopping morning, noon and night.

 

Huffington Post titles tell mothers how to "Be a Working Mom Without Hating Your Life," "End the Mommy Guilt for Good!" and "Conquer Mommy Guilt Once and for All."

 

But what if you needn't feel so guilty in the first place?

 

What if the very fact that you're a working mom actually has substantial and meaningful benefits for your children?
