How email turns us all into men

Women reckon men can’t do more than one thing at a time.

Now I think they’re wrong. I’ve seen loads of men drink beer and watch football at the same time. I’m a man, and I’ve seen men drink beer and watch football while drinking beer and watching football.

But let’s say women are right and men really can’t multi-task. This can only mean one thing when it comes to email. We’re all men – women included.

Eh?

Here’s something I’ve noticed…

Occasionally, I’ve made the mistake of sending someone an email that tries to cover too much in one go. When this happens people only ever seem to respond to one thing I’ve mentioned. They just ignore the rest.

It’s like nobody can multi-task when it comes to email – men or women.

So my advice when writing an email is – stick to just one point. If you’ve got something else to say, send another email.
