Out of my depth here a little. But general writing responds well to knowing/reading good writing. Like the quote “great writers steal” or something like that. Read the greats like Asimov or Feynman. Asimov was of course great for pulling a reader into the work. More directed, analyze your audience. You can pick up the tone of a discipline by reading their magazines and academic journals. I was assigned “The Elements of Style: The Classic American English Writing Style Guide” by Strunk and White at one point. If it’s technical documentation, lots and lots of screenshots. Screenshots can outright make words redundant. Other tricks: get away from it entirely for a period of time. Taking a shower/sleeping or walking can function as a reset. If you’re writing a book or something serious then taking two weeks from reading it will put you in perspective of a first time reader of it (as close as the author can get). Your brain will even continue processing it for a day or two after writing both consciously and subconsciously so going back to it after a stint can be more productive than expected.
