    Making money should be a routine. The secret to making a million is making better investment.
  • I think it's so cool how you can see how all your points are implemented in this video. Very concise & engaging. As a researcher I desperately needed to watch this video.
  • @Debunked421
    I love the fact that you are talking about getting your thoughts together and the wind is blowing like crazy outside. Great Analogy of the brain without a framework! :)
  • @laulaja-7186
    Good to have someone on your wavelength to ramble with,that’s where the good ideas get started … Carefully and painfully constructed communication is for formal situations like public consumption.
  • @rszebin
    I love it how several of the people commenting expect a video to confirm their biases and proceed to prove how this is useless based on their preconceived ideas. Classic can’t see the forest for the trees. Thanks for another insightful video Vicky, and I love it how you make use of other concepts you discussed already. Keep up the great work!
  • Perfect timing! I’m putting together a presentation about a project I did 4 years ago, so I can’t access the story of the work easily. This gave me some great frameworks to organize my work and ideas. This pulled me out of my rut a little bit!
  • @sizwekoomtheMc
    I just discovered your channel, and this is my second video, and im blown away. You have a subscriber in me

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:56 🧠 Lack of structure leads to rambling; frameworks provide clarity. 02:52 💡 Specificity sharpens ideas and enhances clarity in communication. 04:19 🗣️ Start with "the one thing you need to know" to provide direction and refine your point. 05:16 🔄 Even with a point, structure is crucial to avoid rambling; improv frameworks help. 08:40 🎯 Utilize "via negativa" to specify what something is not, enhancing clarity.

    your videos are very useful and gives pretty constructive and practical advice. Thank you!
  • @skyworkslab
    This video is too little too late. It should have been posted yesterday before I went rambling during my evaluation at my local Toastmasters.
  • @richhylton
    Love your candid approach to this topic
  • Thank you Vicky, this video is so easy to follow. I am helped so much. Good job.
  • @Davidkiania
    I absolutely love this and it's very insightful thank you need more of this please ... practical applications of frameworks.
  • Great video ! Sometimes I even struggle to keep a casual conversation going with people from the top management..
  • @hn29723
    Good insight ... thank you for sharing Vicky - will add this to me "remember myself before the week starts" topics. Clear structure and is well explained (even I understood it 😉).
  • The headline is misleading. There's a lot of rumbling here, I didn't find any significant articulable aspects or outlines that guide the development of a concise yet clear narrative.
  • @P-it6pt
    Wow! This is such an empowering video ❤🙏🏽
  • @periteu
    Do you have frameworks for daily life apart from work? For instance, do you have go-to questions when you wake up, or a framework to maintain focus while doing chores? How do you avoid the phenomenon of going to the kitchen and then asking, 'What was I supposed to do here?' or episodes of forgetfulness? Nice vid 🖐🏻
