How paragraph length changes readability
One block
Hi Sarah, I wanted to follow up on the deck, the notes, and the next steps because the client call is coming up and I want to make sure we stay aligned and do not miss anything important. The wall of text slows the scan.
Chunked
Hi Sarah, Could you send the revised deck by Friday? That gives me time to review it before the client call.
Mixed topics
Thanks for the update. I also wanted to mention the timeline, the budget, and the deck in the same paragraph. The reader has to sort the topics out first.
Better
