I feel like a relatively intelligent person but I absolutely struggle with writing concise emails / docs that are well organized. It's an agonizing process and I feel my results are hit or miss with little inbetween.

Was it Samuel Johnson who wrote "I would write a shorter letter but I don't have time" or something along those lines

Writing good documentation takes time! There's no way around it other than practice.

To be fair, that's not my forte either as my writing tends to be sort-of meandering at times. Just recently I wrote a longer message to my PM and he told me "yo, bullet points please".
The literacy and writing of my colleagues has always been good, but sometimes it's in a different language, and their English literacy and writing are not as good.
Writing skills are even more depressing. Just laying out bullet points coherently puts somebody in the top quartile of white-collar workers.
