Forget concepts. Create scenes instead.
āWe help teams cut meeting times.ā
or
āWe save teams an average of five hours a month in meeting time.ā
Both lines say the same thing.
But only one paints a picture your brain can see.
Thatās the concreteness effect. To sum it up, it shows that our brain loves specific details a lot more than vague concepts.
 When you use concrete words, your readerās brain processes them twice. 
Once as words and again as an image. 
Thatās what makes them stick.
In one study, people remembered concrete phrases eight times more often than abstract ones.

Scroll through your feed, and I bet you see the same buzzwords being thrown around.
Authentic. Innovative. Strategic. Impactful.
 They sound polished and professional, but your readerās brain canāt visualize them.
What does authentic look like? Can you picture impactful? 
Concrete language turns empty words into something people can see.
Readers donāt connect with concepts. They connect with moments in time.
Hereās how to make it work for you
If you want people to feel your story instead of just reading it, move from concepts to scenes.
Hereās how:
1. Start with the idea, then ask: āWhat did that actually look like?ā
āI learned to lead with empathy.ā vs āInstead of jumping in with fixes, I started every 1:1 by asking one question: āWhat do you need from me this week?āā
2. Replace vague adjectives with proof.
āA successful launchā vs. āWe hit 1,000 sign-ups in 48 hours.ā
āAn inspiring mentorā vs āShe walked me through her onboarding process when I started my business.ā
If the word could fit in any post, itās too abstract.
3. Use small details that make it feel lived-in.
āA long week.ā vs. āI logged back on three nights last week after the kids went to bed and almost forgot school picture day.ā
āSolid engagement.ā vs āThe post earned 32 comments and a DM that led to a proposal.ā
