Keep Bullets to One Line — Two Max
If a bullet wraps to a third line, it's two bullets pretending to be one.
Long bullets get skimmed and skipped. Short, punchy bullets get read.
Do this today
- Target 14–22 words per bullet
- If it's longer, split it or cut it
- Each bullet should make one clean point
- Trim filler: "in order to," "the," "that"
Read each bullet aloud in one breath. If you run out of breath, it's too long.
