To write short: 1. Start with a clear purpose: have a clear idea. Know what you want to write. 2. Use simple language: use simple language. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that your audience may not understand. 3. Cut out unnecessary words: remove statements that won't affect meaning. 4. Use bullet points or lists: this makes your writing easier to read. 5. Edit ruthlessly: always look for what will make your writing shorter. Keep removing texts and words that affect the meaning of what you are saying. 6. Practice, practice, practice: do this regularly Always communicate clearly
