How many times have you dashed off an email in the heat of the moment and hit send only to realize your message was riddled with typos?
We’ve all been there — and none of us want to go back. To save yourself from future embarrassment and level up your emails, implement these five tips today.
1. Pause and Reread This tip is simple, but it can make the difference between a terrible email and an effective one. Before you hit send, reread every word of your message no matter how long or time-sensitive it is. 2. Try the Talking Test After you reread silently, reread it again out loud. It’s amazing how effectively this trick reveals words,
phrases, and sentences that are awkward or incomplete. You’ll also discover mistakes, because your brain won’t be able to automatically skip words like it does when you read silently.
