Notice retention tactics

▶

Watch for emotional framing

This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.

Evaluate the ask

Calls to action follow emotional buildup. Consider whether the ask would feel as urgent without the preceding framing.
