Redundant, or repeating yourself?

A radio commercial for a weight loss program encouraged listeners to "make today the start of a new beginning".

This is a fun line in so many ways - a beginning is new, or else it would be a continuation; a start is a beginning, not a middle, and a beginning is a start, not a finish.

Redundancies aside, it's a great example of how people can "clutter up" their own messages. Gotten a phone message that starts with the classic, "Sorry I haven't called before this, I've been meaning to call, but things have been really hectic lately and it seemed like every time I was going to call, something else came up and I couldn't. Then, when I'd remember to call, it was too late, so...I'm calling now to ..." and then ends with "Beep"? They used up all of their recording time.

Avoid creating interference for your own messages and making it harder for them to "Break Through the Clutter" of everyday of life to actually reach people in today's world. Proofreading, editing, practicing, and striving for Zero Defects are all ways you give your messages their best chance to "Break Through the Clutter".
