Emails: Mind the details
It can be difficult to know how to approach writing to a colleague now, especially when you want to find a balance between being vulnerable and professional.
Acknowledging what a co-worker is going through can make them feel really cared about. However, don't feel obligated to include such a personal note in every email. Generally, it is better to save personal information for a phone call or video chat.

How to wait well | Psyche Guides
The Anxiety We Feel While Waiting For Something
Mindfulness and meditation are effective strategies to still and center our thoughts and emotions but they do not seem to help much during a wait.
We feel anxious during the wait because th...
Find Out Why You Hate Waiting
Fuming over waiting is only scratching the surface, and is short-sightedness towards a symptom. We need to dig deeper and look for the cause, asking oneself the reason for the wait.
We can then begin to ask ourselves who the beneficiary of the waiting game is. We can sometimes benefit ourselves from waiting, as it builds our patience, and also helps others(as in case of a traffic light).
The Wait Mode: Being Stuck In A Limbo
We hate waiting as it breaks the day’s flow, putting us in limbo. This wait mode is what gets to us, as it pulls us to the present moment, which we are trying to avoid most of the time by remaining distracted in the world. This time can be used to unlock the default mode of our brain, using daydreaming and our imagination network.
We need to embrace this forced present tense of our lives, that holds us in front of ourselves. This precious time is full of infinite possibilities to make the future even better.

What living well means to you
Most people start by listing the superficial trappings of living well - homes, cars, trips. But when people are allowed to think further, they realize they want those things with good friends, or good family relationships.
Considering what living well means guides your choices. It gets people to think about how they want to be involved in the world.
The No. 1 job you want money to do
Michael Liersch, head of advice and growth strategies at Wells Fargo Private Bank, points out three questions to ask:
- What is the No. 1 job you want money to do?
- Do you feel that you have enough?
- Who should be involved in these conversations?
These conversations set the stage to get answers and ideas to discuss.

How to Avoid Miscommunications & Email Like a Real Human Being🙌
The lack of verbal and nonverbal social cues
Any email message we send has the potential to be read in the wrong context, or misinterpreted entirely by the recipient. Even if we have smiley faces in the email, it is no match ...
A Goldmine of Miscommunications
Due to the limitations and the multifacetedness of language, emails often lead to miscommunication, guessed intentions, or total awareness of what the person is trying to convey.
The problem is further complicated if you are writing to someone whom you haven’t met in person.
Subject Line Emails
These types of emails (with the entire email is a sentence in the subject line, with no email body, just the signature)are usually sent by a very direct person, that either feels very busy or that the problem can't be solved simply in an email, so it's too much for them to go into it all.
If you respond with more than 2 sentences, they are probably not going to read it, so you should just get on the phone or get over there in person.
