NOTE

**How to punch with the first sentence **

The key insight is to avoid starting with background information and instead make the first sentence punch by putting the most important statement, provocative statement, promise, or hook at the beginning. By doing so, curiosity is piqued, and the reader is drawn in to continue reading. It is recommended to cut unnecessary content from the opening and focus on delivering the thesis statement or attention-grabbing statement upfront. By creating a curiosity gap and enticing the reader with the initial sentence, the likelihood of further engagement and continued reading is increased.
