    I find it helpful to break up the text into paragraphs where each paragraph is it’s own talking point/topic. It seems easier to read, and easier to find information when re-reading.

    Other things I’ve found helpful:

    • A main paragraph with succinct information
    • Follow-up paragraphs explaining the first
    • Dot points

    The follow-up paragraphs should not have any new information in them (e.g. date/time, locations of events, tasks to be done). They should be for clarification, so that only the first paragraph(s) need to be re-read to find all the important information.

    This is just my experience. I am not an expert.

      These days I’m highlighting one or two keywords per paragraph, so people who get scared by my extensive writing get to have some non-scary starting points. They say it’s appreciated, but I’m still not sure how much is actually read…
