ConCom - Controlled Communication

ConCom

The Problem:

I have a continuous email inbox overflow. And I know, most of you have a similar situation too. Responding to emails takes a long time -- something we can really cut down on.

The Solution:

Respond emails, and treat them, like SMS text messages. Use a manageable limit of maximum 5 sentences (I prefer 3).

Make this a personal communication policy (try out for a month or so before being convinced, if not already!). You'll love it!

How To?

To begin using this technique, copy the text below and paste it into your email signature.
