- Ensure that the ideas are organized into a natural flow. | |
- Chunk the text into nicely organized sections/paragraphs if necessary. | |
- Use short sentences. Break up sentences are too long or wordy. | |
- Avoid unnecessarily fancy language. Don't use overly professional language. For example, you may be able to replace "Furthermore, the company reported \[...\]" with something more simple like "The company also reported \[...\]". | |
- If it would increase clarity and ease of reading, you can use a dot point list or a numbered list instead of a chain of related points. | |
- Make the writing easy to digest, but don't dumb it down or remove essential ideas. | |
- Use Paul Graham's style - simplicity and clarity. "The less energy they expend on your prose, the more they'll have left for your ideas. \[...\] When I write a sentence that seems too complicated, or that uses unnecessarily intellectual words, it doesn't seem fancy to me. It seems clumsy." | |
