Master the Art of Writing Clear, Fast, and Effective Emails

How to Write an Email

I believe great emails prioritize speed, clarity, and judgment over grammar or politeness. Start with the main point, put bad news first, and use specific facts instead of vague hints. Keep each email focused on one job, make the next step obvious, and avoid generic AI language. Respect the reader's time by ensuring your message is clear enough to forward without extra context.

"Do not save face at the expense of clarity. Direct is better than vague. Clear is better than polite but useless."
