Whatever opinion you may have of Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor did once say “Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu’un long discours,” or “A good sketch is better than a long speech”. We\u2019re inclined to agree. I mean what do you prefer \u201creading\u201d,\u00a0this <\/a>or this<\/a>?<\/div>\n
\n
To drive this point home a bit further, we\u2019ve pinpointed 3 reasons why you would do better by drawing the curtain (or turning the page) on writing for good.<\/p>\n

1. Get lost with diagrams? Never!<\/h3>\n

Ask yourself – \u201cDo I really have the time of day to understand yards of data or would I prefer a simple flowchart<\/a> diagram instead?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

2. Diagramming is faster<\/h3>\n
\n

How confusing is this<\/a>?\u00a0It makes better sense to make an organizational char<\/a>t within minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3. Clarity means diagamming<\/h3>\n
\n

We\u2019ve all done brainstorming on pages and pages of docs and emails. Confusion reigns in those instances. This is precisely why intelligent people brainstorm using mindmaps<\/a> because information is far easier to assimilate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So there\u2019s our case for diagramming. In an era when people have less patience, less time and a love for clarity, diagramming does supersede writing in every way. If you feel we\u2019ve given you a strong urge to doodle, then you can do so with us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
