Sentence 110

Before
A typical day starts with a task list at hand to give the day some structure like maybe drafting articles, tracking news and fixing interactions, crawls into all ad hoc activities that takes priority and ends with completing both.

After
A typical day starts with a task list to give the day some structure.Tasks usually include drafting articles, tracking news, and fixing interactions and crawls. 

 In the 'before' version, the author tries to cram in too much. The use of 'maybe' is colloquial. The tasks are not parallel in structure. "Completing both" - both what? It is not clear that 'drafting articles etc' are the tasks being referred to.

 The 'after version' is split into two sentences and it fixes the issues stated above.

Sentence 66

Before However, I believe there are a few truths that the frenzy over growth hacking often tends to gloss over or miss. After However, in all the frenzy raised by growth hacking, I believe there are a couple of truisms that are often glossed over. Notes: Truth vs. Truism - Word Choice few truths vs. couple of truisms There were only 2 truisms raised in the article from which I took the 'before' version. So I felt it more appropriate to say 'couple of truisms'. Rephrased the 'after' sentence for clarity of thought and expression.
