“Junk talk” is real
Junk talk. Definition: irrelevant words that occur during meaningful conversations.
We lose the opportunity just to say the things that matter by saying the things that don’t.
Junk talk is the noise that surrounds our signal (our truth).
We bury our “signal” with “junk talk,” usually because “signal” is scary.
It is easy to feel better when someone rejects a signal mixed with noise because we can blame the “noise.”
It’s easy to add junk talk to our conversation, pitch, or resume because we have an excuse. We hide by saying too much.
We use excuses. As a result, we live in “comfort.”
Comfort is short-term safety. Comfort is a trap. It keeps us stagnant and as a result, we focus on the battle instead of the war.
Our time matters.
When we avoid the uncomfortability of losing we waste time.
Avoid junk talk and get your time back.
Your time better spent improving signal or changing it.
