If you actually mean that, some candid advice:
- Lists are good for enumerating points but not as the entire medium for your work. They don't scale well. After more than a few points, especially if they don't naturally correlate, it becomes harder to follow than simple prose. If you find it difficult to bring the points together, try recording yourself going down the list and briefly explaining each one in turn to a rubber duck.
- Try to use only as many words as you need to, but no more or less. Several of your points could have been rolled into one more coherent point, and some of them could have used a little more digging too. Again, reading aloud would help with this.
- "Takeaways / Action" as a header is a little forward. Let the reader decide for themselves what the takeaway should be, or if you want to address them directly, do so. It's already implied that someone taking their time to read your article is looking for a takeaway to make it worth their while.
- Spell check before you post.
