I was asked for a two-minute pitch recorded on video. I quickly reviewed the instructions to initiate the recording and wrote down the main points I wanted to hit. Instead of searching for detailed instructions or building up a comprehensive outline, I hit record and started talking. I completed the assignment in less than ten minutes. Others spent over an hour prepping, practicing, and re-recording to obtain the same result. Don’t make a simple task complicated. Sometimes you can start quickly and learn what you need as you go.
