When you finish a first draft, go back and delete every fourth word. Replace only the ones needed to make it logical and grammatical. Repeat as needed. Editing and refining always takes effort. Bob, with all due respect, creating a concise and focused product is always harder and more time consuming than using the first draft. Of course, there is always the careless and uncaring- I am assuming we are talking about someone who is TRYING to produce a good product.

I sometimes wonder if this principle is misapplied and becomes an excuse for not striving for excellence, impact and results-all in the name of simplicity, clarity, focus etc. I agree with your previous post regarding the paradox of choice-yet I believe I've seen people hide behind "less" is more. I don't believe your post is saying that...but I struggle when I see Less = Less Tony have you ever seen an instance where less is not more?

Sometimes as Christians we take on much more than we can handle because we can not say no. What happens is, we do everything at a lower standard rather than doing a few things with excellence.
