For every email today, practice this protocol: create, pause, edit, read aloud, pause, edit, send. If you like acronyms: “CPERPES.” (It’ll grow on ya.)
And…or…
…stuff your essential emails in your drafts folder for a few minutes before you send ’em. (The time away is guaranteed to help you spot improvement areas.)
Just because you’re constantly traveling in the fast lane doesn’t mean you can’t slow down and apply thought to your emailing.
