Clarity in Email

Have you ever felt the need to put something like this at the bottom of your emails as your signature line?

Forgive the lack of clarity in this email… I am doing so many things concurrently that my responses have become erratic and chaotic at best, misleading at worst.  If you are in any way confused by what I have written please reach out to me for further clarity and don’t worry – I won’t be offended.

If you have, if you do, if you are copying and pasting this into your email signature right now, it might be time to ask yourself any of the following;

  1. Why are you responding to emails so quickly?
  2. What is forcing you do this?
  3. Would it be better if I never replied at all?
  4. Do I need to reply?

No next steps, only questions that might help you putting this into your email signature.
