Thanks for weighing in Jim.  It feels great when I’m efficient in dealing with incoming messages.  When I’m not as good, I feel stress and sometimes even out of control.  And a great point about clarity.  It may take a touch more time and effort to be clear but the ROI can be significant.

I heartily agree with the Sender advice to be very direct about what is required.  I do indicate what’s required in the subject; also issue a lot of “if I do NOT hear from you I will assume you are OK w/ this” messages.  When a request is clear, people will respond.  I sense a great deal of email avoidance is related to confusion or indecision about what action to take… and doing nothing is easier. 

Thanks for a great post and reminder.
