Structure Your Messages for Readability

Instead of "Meeting," use "Agenda for Friday's 10 AM Marketing Sync." If your group has a subject prefix enabled (e.g., [ProjectX]), that's a great start, but your own title should still be descriptive. If an action is required, state it upfront, for example, "ACTION REQUIRED: Please Review Q3 Budget Draft." This simple habit dramatically improves the efficiency of the entire group.


No one wants to read a giant, unbroken wall of text. Structure your emails to be as scannable and digestible as possible.

Use short paragraphs: Keep paragraphs focused europe cell phone number list on a single idea.
Utilize bullet points and numbered lists: These are perfect for outlining agendas, action items, or key takeaways.
Employ formatting: Use bold text to highlight key phrases or deadlines and italics for emphasis.
Have a clear call to action: If you need people to do something, state it clearly. Don't bury your request in the middle of a long paragraph.
Know When to Reply vs. Reply All
This is a golden rule of email etiquette. Before you hit "Reply All," ask yourself: "Does every single person in this group need to see my response?" Often, the answer is no. If your response is only relevant to the original sender or a few people, take them aside into a new email thread. Overusing "Reply All" is one of the fastest ways to annoy group members and cause them to tune out. A well-managed group encourages thoughtful replies to the whole group when the information is genuinely relevant to everyone.
