“The Internet: a vast expanse of distractions, armed to the teeth and laying in wait to ambush unsuspecting employees with adorable kittens and kids falling over—many of which make their attack through email. To combat this obscenity, we made a flow chart to help guide you through the daily task of deciding whether or not to hit send,” the infographic writes.
‘Should I Send This Email?’ also gives factual reason why you should not send ‘spam’:
- “businesses lose $650 billion every year due to unnecessary emails;”
- “overall, office distractions (like email) cost companies more than $10,000 per employee yearly”;
- and a typical office worker “sends and receives 110 emails per day, resulting in 13 hours of emailing a week”.
With all these lost hours of work from emails, your boss will not be stoked.
The infographic also gives tips on writing emails: using “NNTR” (No Need To Respond); “EOM” (End of Message); and the “3 Sentence Rule” (keeping your emails short).
