Hosts Daphne and Fred share their analysis of the article "Technical Writing Tips & Tricks" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on September 3, 2024.

An excerpt from the article: "Focus on Structure: Organize your content logically. Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points to break down and clarify information. This not only makes a document easier to navigate, but also helps maintain a logical flow of information.

"Get Two Monitors: A dual-monitor setup at your workstation can improve your efficiency and productivity—not to mention your happiness and satisfaction level with something you do for 40-60 hours per week. And before you say it's too expensive, realize that large (27" or larger) high-quality 4K monitors are sometimes priced as low as $200-300. Consider going the extra mile with a dual-arm monitor mount and you'll be the coolest tech writer on the block."
