new work email policy

So, I have a new work email policy — no more than 5 sentences per email!

About 2/3 of the time, a simple 3 paragraph email suffices: one sentence telling them directly what I need, three sentences describing it in more detail, and a final one sentence paragraph describing the follow up.

(Verbose emails by cow-orkers automagically go to the bottom of the day’s queue)
