You can clarify almost anything by putting it into fewer words.
Factoid:
Time taken to process an n-word sentence is proportional to n^3, or more.
Cut the length in half, and you make it 8 times easier to read. (Maybe.)
An example:
“One of the best things you can do for yourself to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out words that are not necessary.”

That’s a lot better.

“One of the best ways to improve your writing is to learn how to cut out unnecessary words.”
Keep watching…
“To improve your writing, learn how to cut out unnecessary words.”
Keep watching…

“To improve your writing, cut out unnecessary words.”
There! 25 words reduced to 8!
