How many unread emails do you have in your inbox?
How many of them are you postponing to open?
How many are you postponing to open because you know what to expect?
How many do you open and immediately close?
Our brains change in response to inputs, which nowadays come from different directions. The incredible volume of information that reaches us via email makes our brains work at a speed never seen before.
Digital communication is now a daily thing and allows us to do a considerable number of tasks in a much faster way. It makes it easier to conclude deals and businesses or check spelling and grammar.
On the other hand, in the past, people didn’t have to answer so many different tasks or queries received by email from early morning. That part makes everyone exhausted. It is time-consuming – both the sender and receiver need time to compose the message. I want to remind you that we need to respect time because it is one of the rarest goods that cry to be used if they are not respected.
Also, some emails can be highly insulting, and recipients feel stressed. Some respond quickly, while others contemplate how to reply appropriately and waste time.
Follow these tips and make your communication better:
- Don’t send long emails. The shorter, the better.
- A great opening line or so-called topic sentence that summarizes the main idea makes all the difference.
- Never send emails that could emotionally upset someone.
- Emotional difficulties are always solved by calling. Use email to agree on the time of the call.
- Harsh emails should be left in drafts. The essence of business communication is in solving, not arguing.
- Use emails to reach an understanding with others.
