"A lot of advice about being concise misses an important point. We've all heard 'don't bury the lede' and 'cut to the chase.' All of these pithy aphorisms assume that you actually know what your core point is. You can't cut to the chase unless you know what the chase is. You can't unbury the lede unless you know what the lede is. The bottleneck to being concise is actually not being clear about what you are thinking". — Wes Kao
