Working Wisely - Email

Helpful tips on writing emails.

How to Write Better Emails, from What's Best Next. I appreciate his comments on better subject lines, writing the main point early, and not forwarding without summarizing what you expect someone to do with what you've written to them. I've sent out dozens (hundreds?) of emails with useless titles like 'please read' or 'interesting.' Not helpful.

I really appreciate his focus in writing the posts on his blog. His purpose is not only to help himself be more productive, but to enable others to be more productive as well. That's humble and servant-oriented. I think God smiles at that.

And I really like the EOM idea I picked up from Lifehacker. Why make someone click open an email if you can make the subject the whole message? "Meet you at La Tolteca @ 12 Tuesday - EOM"

Brilliant.
