Emails Can Be a Full-time Job. They can drive you crazy and over-load your life. Flagged emails, urgent emails, and pressure to maintain a Zero Inbox. Here are some effective email tips.

Create a clear subject line. You can use this to let the recipient know what action is required. Maybe this is information only, such as next year’s company holiday schedule.

Begin with a professional salutation. Use Hello instead of Hey. Use the recipient’s proper full name unless you know for sure they prefer a nickname. I get numerous emails addressing me as Rosa. That’s my last name, not my first name.
