Email tip: If you know someone is very busy, occupied, focused on other things, the best way to get a chance at a piece of their time is with a very short email, not a very long one. I understand the tendency to go into detail, but it works against you. Think about the receiver.
When I write an email to someone like that, I write a first draft, then I go back and eliminate everything I can. I aim to make it about half the length.

This is perfect.
Sweet and concise.
There's the first email and then followup.

I will never forget the response from my first year English professor when asked "how long should this essay be?" She replied: "like a skirt, long enough to cover the issues, short enough to make it interesting."

Damnnnn!! Now that’s one way to put it!

Underlining or highlighting important lines on email had always worked. A cursory glance and you can connect all the dots.

That's smart. I think just the fact of treating the first version as a draft and going through the whole thing again is a huge advantage

I trim my writing in every context to make it clearer and sharper.

"Hello"

How about "Hi". Or even better "
