Oh… If EVERYONE Could Follow This Simple Email Checklist…

...what a wonderful world this would be.
Seth Godin this morning had a really great piece on email: what, when, why, and how to use it. There are 36 items on his list. Here are a few of my favorites:
20. Have I included the line, "Please save the planet. Don't print this email"? (If so, please delete the line and consider a job as a forest ranger or flight attendant).
21. Could this email be shorter?
26. Am I forwarding someone else's mail? (If so, will they be happy when they find out?)
29. Did I hit 'reply all'? If so, am I glad I did? Does every person on the list need to see it?
36. If I had to pay 42 cents to send this email, would I?
For the full list, you'll have to head over to Seth's blog, which you can find here...

I'm a chronic workaholic, love to connect leaders with other leaders, and would consider myself somewhat of a 'maven'. Hopefully you'll find something here at MMI you'll like and will return often. If you want, you can find out more about me or follow my every step.

Post Your Comments:Good list. Thanks!
Number 13 is the best.
Am I angry? (If so, save as draft and come back to the note in one hour).
Check this list!
How about adding in this one…
“Is this email intended as a confrontation?”
If so, delete and go to them directly
I want to check this list!
