To overcome this, I find it quite helpful to first review and become familiar with all the material. Second, I group the information into subtopics. Then, I arrange that information in whatever flow seems appropriate. After that, I try to try to do a "Michelangelo." By that I mean, pull out the essence of what I'm trying to say, much as he described in, "I saw an angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." Bottom line: cut out the excess! This sometimes means finally winding up with 1,000 words for every 10,000 I've collected in my original research. Hope this helps! (less)

Strategy

I'm amazed my book "Strategic Advantage: How to Win in War, Business, and Life" is not crowd-sourced under the "Strategy" genre. If you read and like the book, please shelve it under "Strategy." If you don't already have a "Strategy" shelf, please think about creating one. Thanks!
