I have begun to read quite a bit of posts… and one I get regularly is your posts, and CopyBlogger…
There was a post on March 10th that was
The Secret Key to Killer Content:
Taking Time to Think
The post was a tip for copy writing and how to develop your ideas… the intention noble, the execution meager.
Well, I posted some comments, and I’ll try to do the same for your posts.
My comments came from a variety of sources… but, here it is:
We are not stressed because we have no time, but rather, we have no time because we are stressed.
This is from an excerpt of an article my wife sent to me.
Benjamin Franklin composed a satire, “Essay on Daylight Saving,” proposing a law that would oblige Parisians to get up an hour earlier in summer. By putting the daylight to better use, he reasoned, they’d save a good deal of money — an exact amount — that might otherwise go to buying candles. Now this switch to daylight saving time (which occurs early Sunday in the United States) is an annual ritual in Western countries.
Even more influential has been something else Franklin said about time in the same year: time is money. Our society is obsessed as never before with making every single minute count. People even apply the language of banking: We speak of “having” and “saving” and “investing” and “wasting” it.
But the quest to spend time the way we do money is doomed to failure.
Your post is relevant and interesting in the sense of pace and relation, however, you should develop to include that time seems to expand when our senses are aroused.
An ingenious bit of research, conducted in Germany, demonstrated that within a brief time frame the brain can shift events forward or backward. Subjects were asked to play a video game that involved steering airplanes, but the joystick was programmed to react only after a brief delay. After playing a while, the players stopped being aware of the time lag. But when the scientists eliminated the delay, the subjects suddenly felt as though they were staring into the future. It was as though the airplanes were moving on their own before the subjects had directed them to do so.
The brain’s inclination to distort time is one reason we so often feel we have too little of it. One in three Americans feels rushed all the time, according to one survey. Even the cleverest use of time-management techniques is powerless to augment the sum of minutes in our life (some 52 million, optimistically assuming a life expectancy of 100 years), so we squeeze as much as we can into each one.
Believing time is money to lose, we perceive our shortage of time as stressful. Thus, our fight-or-flight instinct is engaged, and the regions of the brain we use to calmly and sensibly plan our time get switched off. We become fidgety, erratic and rash.
Tasks take longer. We make mistakes — which take still more time to iron out. Who among us has not been locked out of an apartment or lost a wallet when in a great hurry? The perceived lack of time becomes real: We are not stressed because we have no time, but rather, we have no time because we are stressed.
Studies have shown the alarming extent of the problem: office workers are no longer able to stay focused on one specific task for more than about three minutes, which means a great loss of productivity. The misguided notion that time is money actually costs us money.
And it costs us time. People in industrial nations lose more years from disability and premature death due to stress-related illnesses like heart disease and depression than from other ailments. In scrambling to use time to the hilt, we wind up with less of it.
The remedy is to liberate ourselves from Franklin’s equation. Time is not money but “the element in which we exist,” as Joyce Carol Oates put it more than two decades ago (in a relatively leisurely era). “We are either borne along by it or drowned in it.”
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
To add to the notion that the post should expand on the notion that we “don’t take the time” is just like saying that we don’t have the credit, currency, or buying power to develop rich content… however, this is false. Time is almost a silent language, a means of communication that we don’t even realize (we want to hold peoples attention for at least 10 seconds) so we normally process our thoughts into segments that would allow for “lead time” or “grabbing” or “lingering” concepts that seem to all flow to a perception of time as a form of communication.
Now, to say, “take your time” to think, is good advice, however, what other ideas, practices, or methods do you have to enhance your time to create dynamic content?
I’d like to hear some… personally, I find that writing is a craft. I find that creating posts because you “have to” and have nothing to say is rather dull.
However, William Burroughs has some great writing exercises he used to teach… such as telling his students to simply walk home, after class, and only focus on the color yellow. It’s pretty interesting what you find. (Read “The Adding Machine” a book of his essays.)
I have my own silly and useful techniques that I use before I post, however, the main point here is what… to think before we write?
I would hope so.
Or not force a headline that we should take some time to develop? I would hope so as well…
Excellent! Great information for SEO Practices.
