Feb 4, 2019 at 17:03 comment added Liquid The advantages of being brief is that you are forced to summarize all the core concepts of the stuff you'd like to record in the spreadsheet. Having fewer words means having to spend less time in writing and reading your working notes, hence more time to write the actual story (hopefully). The assumption here is that every worldbuilding idea can be summarized in a few concepts and expanded later on when it's needed in the story.
