My General Approach to Editing

 Toss this commas

No need for that adverb

Put that noun into the subject slot; Use concrete nouns

Combine those words into a single verb.

Nominalizations
Verbs or adjectives used as nouns = bad

Transitive vs Intransitive verbs
A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object. An intransitive verb will make sense without one.

Transitive verbs are usually stronger.

Chicago Manual of Style

Oxford commas

Parallelism

Sequencing find the noun and use parallelism

Complimentary words - bring forth a full strong complete visual, example Chevron waves from Doerr

Avoid left branching sentences, except with short essays- our brains are wired to be front loaded, suspense builds through rest of sentence

Words trump ideas

"Technical understanding" inappropriate use of adjectives

Parts of speech trump the connotation

Less is more - I want to enhance my educational background.  Education is a nominalizations  - if changed to verb, who's educating who?  "I want to educate myself about clinical psychology."
