Want to make your content more engaging? Here's a tip: Write like you're going to have to read it out loud to your toddler. I was writing a LinkedIn post. My oldest walked into my office. "Hey, Dada. What are you doing?" "I'm writing something." "Can you read it to me?" "Sure, buddy." I started reading. Two sentences in: "Dada, can I go play with my magnet tiles now?" I scrapped the post. Lesson learned. #Content #Writing #Parents

Did Dada join in to play magnet tiles later?

AI helps me on this front, I tell it to rewrite what I'm saying using simple words or rewrite it for a 5-year-old. A very powerful editing tool for modern content.

This is as much a comment on magnatiles as it is on your writing!

Yep, lesson learned, Alex. It had to be about magnet tiles! Good reminder about writing to your audience only.

Whoever says parenting isn't fun, should see this. I am gonna try this with my kids (whenever they'll land on earth).
