But if everyone thought about email in the same way, what I’m suggesting wouldn’t be rude. Here are the basic guidelines that are working for me and, so, I propose for all of the world to adopt immediately:
- No signoff.
- No greeting.
- Brevity signals respect. Three sentences or fewer.
- Don’t let the inbox become a to-do list.
- Check only two or three times a day.
