Direct Writing Mode
Stop softening. Say it straight. Direct does not mean rude — it means honest and efficient.
When to use
When you need a clear yes or no, when ambiguity would waste time, and when you want to communicate with confidence. Good for decisions, feedback, and setting expectations.
Before & after
Before
“I was just thinking maybe we could possibly consider looking into whether or not we might want to change the approach for the launch, but I'm not totally sure and would love to hear what you think”
After
“I recommend changing the launch approach. Here is why. What do you think?”
Benefits
- 1Removes qualifiers like 'maybe', 'possibly', 'I was just thinking'
- 2States the recommendation then asks for feedback
- 3Saves the reader time by leading with the point
- 4Builds confidence in your communication over time
