Brevity
About 2 decades ago, I watched a documentary on the making of the album The Unforgettable Fire by U2. At the helm of the mixing desk, producer Brian Eno uttered the following words to the team:
Brevity is the essence of wit. [1]
Ever before I started being conscientious with my note-taking, those words stayed in my memory bank (For more on the value of capturing ideas, retrieving and synthesising them, see the Deep Learner course).
One of the taken for granted domain that clinicians can strive to improve is brevity.
