* Practice writing more concise emails. Especially if it's an email you already sent out. Ask yourself if the email had the intended effect, and what changes you could have made to better reach/improve that effect. * Look at the emails you receive that you feel do a good job of being concise. What do they have in common? What do you do differently from those emails? Start applying those differences when you write emails. * Look at the emails you receive that you feel don't do a good job of being concise, or are confusing otherwise (perhaps they're too concise). Open the email in an editor and make changes until you eliminate the problem areas. Can you make similar changes in your own emails? As a more concrete example, I originally had this text in the above paragraph: > Open the email in an editor and make the changes you would want to see until you see the email you wished you received I then revised it to: > Open the email in an editor and make changes until you eliminate the problem areas. In this and other cases, messages can be improved with better handling of the sentence's subject(s), tense, etc.
