And the more boring, the less interesting and less chances to reach our presentation&#8217;s goals. Right? Not exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a great planner said once, <strong>there is no players analysis more interesting then the crush message in whatsapp<\/strong>. So, it&#8217;s natural for the players analysis to be boring, and the efforts to try to become it cool probably won&#8217;t be enough and it will be a low expectation large part in the presentation&#8217;s timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing that the presentation starts with a high expectation that falls naturally and returns growing in the climax, so we have the <strong>Boring Valley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In movies we see it happening when it&#8217;s necessary to explain the protagonist history and motivations, that period of a lot of travels e a lot of people speaking, probably a journey with some discovers. <strong>It&#8217;s not that exciting, but it is important<\/strong>. There you will receive all you need to understand everything that will appear later. If the movie were only the climax, probably a lot of people wouldn&#8217;t understand why that climax is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the Boring Valley is very important. Of course, the main goal is not to turn the whole presentation tedious, but it&#8217;s exactly t<strong>o let the presentation better and more relevant in a longer time<\/strong>. The information that runs freely in Boring Valley has its role very clear. It&#8217;s our duty to keep up its purpose and to give the conditions to enforce its existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, to be boring and unnecessary it&#8217;s already so much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To bem interesting is so good, but to be interesting all the time is so hard.
