A few things (written on my phone, forgive the SEO list):
* One idea per sentence, more than one tends to make massive run-on sentences that go too far.
* Removes irrelevant details. Why does it matter that a Guardian article was the thing that gave the writer the missing link?
Essentially the trick is to take your ideas down to the bare minimum required to express them portably and then write that. It makes things much easier to write (you don't have ans many words to put in the document) and the end result is much easier to read (there's less irrelevant details to scan through).
