Key Takeaways
Identify 'micro-trends' before they hit mainstream media by monitoring high-engagement niche subreddits and forums for recurring patterns in user testimonials.
Improve storytelling by replacing the boring 'and then' connector with 'but' or 'therefore' to create narrative tension and logical consequences.
Utilize 'Scheduled Worry Time'—dedicate specific hours to stress over strategy and planning so that the rest of your time can be spent on pure execution without second-guessing.
