This is what I enjoy about writing flash fiction. Limited word count means each word must pull its weight. You comb your writing and banish fluff and extraneous words. But providing rich vivid descriptions and conveying a compelling story is the part of the joy of writing. It is a challenge to strike the correct balance.
What is your favorite form? Do you use that form because it is a challenge or because it is easy?

Plenty non-fiction/technical writing with very specific formats. Have you any experience writing in that area?

i like flash too, though long form is my favourite, but still within the short story category. three lines tales really tested my creativity and i was very happy to once receive a special mention by a published author on a piece I wrote, in fact he used it as an example of what flash fiction should have in it.

this was my write
and this was the writer’s discussion using it, i was flattered of course, but I do not have any formal education or training in writing so it was a pleasant surprise for me. JM is a talented and also disciplined writer, he really inspires me.
