Listicles are some of the most memorable pieces in history, from 10 Commandments to Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses, to Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues to Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits.
Richard Branson, the Virgin founder, lives his life making lists. Lists became an art form for Wallace Stevens and Johnny Cash, as well as David Letterman.
Shakespeare actually coined the term list in Hamlet. If a colleague is snarky and makes fun of listicles, tell them that you are following Shakespeare's example.

From a study, 2014 was the Year of Listicles. And this trend waxes stronger by the day.

This training caught my one eye (one joke here) because I just can't handle the fuss and struggle of doing long posts.
So, I was doing 2 list posts before and this training confirms that I am on the right track.
Who knows maybe I am creating a masterpiece?
Thank you Lily for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated.
All the best!
