I totally agree with the idea that slowing down can really improve the quality of emails. A lot of times, we just want to jam information into emails, using the simplest, most direct idea or data to facilitate or answer questions on projects. Then, we send the emails out with a rush, hoping the recipients will have no issue understanding what we just wrote. I noticed that if I walk away after writing an email and look at it later, I find a lot of sentence structure or grammar errors. So, we can easily make emails a lot more professional by slowing down a bit, and taking time to review and fix our own emails before hitting the Send button.
