Thank you for sharing this. It’s a good overview and reminder of basic principles that are sometime logical in one area of life, but a blind spot in another, as physical fitness principles to writing principles. I’ve instinctively followed that 2-to-1 principle, probably having applied the time management principle of 60/40. I took notes on the article, and will apply them!
