My manager said my project updates were too long and it changed how I write emails

She told me 'Jenny, I need the bottom line in the first line, not after three paragraphs' after a big report I sent last Tuesday. Now I start every email with the main point or question, then add details only if needed. Has anyone else had to totally change how they communicate at work?

How long did it take for that new style to feel natural?

Oh man, that's such a good question. I've found it's less about a set time and more about how often you do the thing. It's like your brain needs to build a tiny habit path. For me, it clicks when I stop thinking about the steps and just do it. Why does it feel like everything new has that weird phase at first?
