Keeping E-Mail From Being Error-Mail

"If you prefer writing e-mails at day's end when you're not as busy, don't send them until the following morning. That way you'll be able to review them when your brain is fresh." - Andrew Jensen

One of the defining moments of my early career came on a late Friday afternoon, when I sent a carefully-worded e-mail out to the entire department. Carefully worded, that is, except that I left out a letter in the first name of the department head. Eep.

When my head is right, I keep e-mails in draft form until the following morning. The power of a night's sleep continues to amaze.
