This is what I'm trying to help with. If you keep the framework of "know your audience" and "know their purpose" in mind, docs will be much less daunting. Who am I writing this for? What do they know beforehand? What is their purpose of reading this doc? Answer those questions, and you won't need to memorize long lists of specific tips. Trying to memorize tips and grammar rules without having an overarching framework of why they improve your communication is what makes writing daunting, IMO.
