Minimalists define the minimalism lifestyle as the “intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of everything that distracts us from it.” While you may not personally subscribe to this idea, professionally as technical writers, it should be our mantra. In this workshop, Dawn Stevens, shows how to apply the four principle of a clutter-free life to our technical content.

Takeaways

  • You can declutter your technical content.
  • Keep only the information users value in your documentation. 
  • Writing minimally is a continuing process, not a single event.
  • Bring intentionality into your writing.
