Brevity...tips?

What are your tips when you're trying to be succinct, but also very clear in communication?






My best tip is to write things the way that I normally would then go back through and eliminate anything redundant.

Ex.
If I understood the reading correctly, I think the author is probably trying to say that one should always begin with the end in mind.

To
I belive he is saying that one should always begin with the end in mind.




Summaries also help when I am concerned that someone will take something the wrong way if I don't explain, but also want them to be able to look at the email and know within two seconds all of the major points and what to add to their to-do list.



Also bolding the points/formatting, clearly.


How about you?
 
Pretty much the same. It's rare that what I first write is what others actually see.

I was required to take an effective writing class in the Air Force. It pretty much covered these ideas.
