Keep an email as short as a tweet - Deepstash

Keep an email as short as a tweet

Research shows that many emails aren't read but just skimmed or deleted. Every word you write past your first 40, you directly reduce the chances of getting an answer.

  • Be very brief, around 280 characters. But that may be impossible.
  • Otherwise, the part where you ask for something can be kept to the length of a tweet.
  • Meeting notes can be included as an attachment.
