Just make sure to add a tldr at the end XD

I usually put TL;DRs at the top to account for lazy people that won't even bother scrolling all the way down to check whether there's a TL;DR.

This is the way.

After finishing writing the "essay", I take the 1 sentence conclusion from the end and put it on top, then write something like "here are the details if you're interested".

Sometimes it just feels good to write them down just to get them out of my head, but after that sometimes I don't even send them, (delete them or keep them in draft just in case, or as future reference notes).
