“Not everything that is more difficult is more meritorious.”
So said Saint Thomas Aquinas.
Let me paraphrase it: not every long document is worth the time it takes to write it and read it.
Remember that when it comes to writing your next long-ish document.
Think about whether you are making your job harder than it needs to be. Perhaps a short document will meet the need. Perhaps you can write in shorter sentences that take less effort for you to think up, and less effort for your reader to read.
There’s nothing wrong with taking the easy way to get the job done.
