The following provide guidelines for self-editing:
- Person: Write in second person
- Conditions: Place conditions before instructions e.g. For more info, See here
- Audience: Reminder to focus on your audience
- Read out loud: phishing out awkward phrasing, too long sentences or anything that doesn’t feel natural.
- Break: Come back to it after 1, 2 or 3 hours.
- Context Change: Maybe try using a notion page over word doc for a different feel.
