7 Rules for Communicating Clearly and Concisely in Email
Some interesting reading about optimizing email communications… I like rules number one:
1. Use the minimum amount of sentences. I’ve been using the 5-sentence rule,
but you can use more if needed. The question is: how many sentences are
needed to communicate what you’re trying to communicate? Or how few
sentences can you get away with. Cut it to that number, and no more.
That ensures that you’re not wasting the time of the recipient, and
that your email actually gets read (people tend to put off reading
longer ones, and might even delete them).
Just that one would be worth a try at wide scale!
