Send Only Necessary E-Mails

Now we also want to respect our readers time. And we've talked about this already, that a lot of people get hundreds of emails a day. So something that's really important for you to do is only send necessary messages. Now, this means, no chain letters, no jokes, no save the whales, no, you know, if you send this to fifteen of your friends you're going to win a million dollars. Don't send any of that. None of that is appropriate in the workplace because it's a waste of people's time. They don't have time for that. Same thing with marking messages urgent. If the message is truly urgent, mark it urgent. But everything you send can't be urgent. So when your reader sees that, "oh urgent, I got to read this", and it's like the joke of the day. Okay, you have just wasted that person's time. So, be real sensitive to your reader and their time.
