Checklist For Withholding Information

People often leave information out of their writing that I think a reader would want or need to know (we're assuming here a reader who's somewhat interesting and at least potentially interested in what one has to say). I'm a person and I do this too, so I made a checklist for myself. It would be burdensome to always feel the requirement to put everything in, would make writing a chore. But I'm certain that when I leave things out I'm not always doing so by choice. So the goal here is to make sure that my decision to leave things out is somewhat conscious.
