"Each of these only takes a minute"

[edit]

It doesn't say that each of these only takes a minute. For instance goal setting doesn't take a minute, but instead the goals are written in 250 words, which takes about 1 minute to read. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.111.7.54 (talk) 22:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diction issues

[edit]

First of all, one should should never use the term "very short book" in Wikipedia, especially not in the first sentence. Even defining it as "a short book" is not completely appropriate, since the book is 112 pages long and yet right now as I am typing this I have more than a dozen books standing next to me that all have less than 100 pages, and yet they're all well-known publications with their own Wikipedia pages that never contain the word "short". Subjective judgements aside, a sentence that claims that "*title* is a very short book" would probably be deemed not fit for any high school report, not to mention Wikipedia.
