How do you handle the spaces in between your points, stories, examples, and exercises? Here are ten ways to transition from one idea to the next. We talk a lot about organizing our content, main points, opening and closing, but we rarely talk about how to get from one segment to the next. These are your transitions.

And I still believe some people -- info junkies like me -- might prefer to get caught up on blog news while they are commuting or exercising.
