Does it seem like everyone you work with doesn’t work that much? Or, if they do, that they prioritize everything else above helping you out when you absolutely need it? It might be them; it might be you, but whatever it is, nothing is getting done when it needs to be. Either way, “Two Easy Ways To Make Your Coworkers Prioritize Your Emails” suggests changes to get issues like that to stop — and to stop fast.
Key Takeaways:
- Simply numbering your subject lines with a “1,” “2,” or “3” lets your contacts know which messages need their immediate attention, which need action, and which are merely for their information.
- Instead of writing long, comprehensive emails with big paragraphs of information, just break everything down into lists.
- There’s a long-term benefit to this technique, too: Two months from now, if you need to refer back to a key item, you’ll have a much easier time finding what you’re looking for when you scan the emails in your “sent” folder.
