    My job somehow shifted from teaching IT to seniors to teaching SOSE to migrants

    It has simultaneously been the most challenging, and most rewarding change.

    I’m forced to edit myself down from my preferred 5000 word lecture to about 150 words with clip art.

    It’s slowly helping me become less of a rambler.

    Except for the “post restraint collapse”, I get home and I can’t hold it in anymore, cue the explosive verbal diarrhoea.

    At work, fewer words are better.

    But in my own personal life I feel that the fewer words I employ to convey the way I feel the less nuance I’m embedding in my message and what is communication if not the conveyance of the core message, failing to express myself clearly would be counter-productive so surely explaining in more detail is beneficial, hello? Are you still listening? Why have your eyes glazed over.
