I remember my first semester university writing class, when on the first day the teacher told us we had learned to pad our writing in high school, and now we were going to learn how to be short and concise because every assignment would be limited to one page.
I had a "Violence in the Political System" professor who only assigned executive summary research assignments. No more than one page.
His explanation: I don't want to read more than that, and you should be able to fit all the most important details in one page.
Great lesson.
