FIRST IMPRESSIONS

All of us have the same 24 hours in a day, but not all of us have the same energy or time to spend reading materials that aren’t urgent or absolutely necessary for our day-to-day activities or work.


The human mind is a wonderful and amazing tool that helps us manage our limited time by finding ways to maximize efficiency. One such trick our brains use is to prioritize tasks by ease, using “first impressions” as an inherent hack.


When providing reading materials to others, be it journal articles or blog posts, it can be extremely useful to keep this hack in mind.


Always work to help the brains of our audience form favourable first impressions on our reading materials, texts, lists - anything, really.


What factors would you consider when providing reading materials to your audience? 🤔

LENGTHS   When creating reading materials, questionnaires and surveys, keeping in mind the principle of “first impressions” can be crucial.   One such factor that influences our first impressions is the overall length of reading materials.   Even before we’ve had a chance to start reading, our brain forms an opinion on the material at hand based on its LENGTH or number of pages.   Who wants to spend time reading a 25-page article when a 2-page summary of the same is readily available?

BREAKS

It has long been held in industry and society at large that breaks in your education and career are huge negatives that must be avoided at all costs. While it is true that long breaks spanning years to decades can definitely have that impact on your hiring potential, well-timed, short breaks can have the opposite effect on your mental health and general well-being. It is important to acknowledge that none of us work in completely sterile, mechanical environments free of the risks and perils brought on by human error and each one of us have different capacities for different tasks that add up to our nature and capability to function in our respective work environments. Identifying the need for short breaks, enforcing boundaries and actually timing them in a manner that helps your team members, and your organization succeed is a skill that remains yet to be recognized. In a society plagued by ever-increasing demands on interpersonal relationships and industrial exploitation of its workin...

NEGATIVE SPACES

When formatting your CV or designing a questionnaire, a key concept often overlooked is the presence of NEGATIVE SPACES.   How often do you think about the lack of written matter in a document?   When crunching numbers and words, it is so easy to hone in on all the matter scattered around on your pages, but what makes it readable are the negative spaces that do not fill it.   Negative spaces can be strategically or non-strategically placed; they can be necessary or placed for aesthetic value. Strategically placed negative spaces serve to prevent overcrowding of information and stop you from feeling overwhelmed when you look at a document.   Ever wondered why certain texts, even when they are 25 pages long, feel easier to read and digest than some texts that are only 3 pages long but jam-packed and full of information? Consider the following document images attached. Which appears easier to read? Document A:  OR Document B:
