We can churn out emails at such lightening speed, it\u2019s easy to write something that accidentally offends someone or is easily misunderstood. Emailing feels <i>almost <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/can-we-talk\/\">like a conversation<\/a>, but we lack the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/stop-go-wait\/\">emotional signs<\/a> and social cues of face-to-face or phone interactions. If there\u2019s any challenging content to convey\u2014and if you\u2019re sending it out to more than one person\u2014it\u2019s easy for problems to arise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can communicate more thoughtfully and effectively via email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Mindful Tips to Email More Clearly <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keep it short and sweet. <\/strong>Using fewer words usually leads to more clarity and greater impact. Your message can easily get lost in the clutter, so keep it simple.<\/li><li><strong>Ask yourself\u2014should I say this in person? <\/strong>Some messages are just <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/how-to-mindfully-have-an-awkward-conversation\/\">too touchy<\/a>, nuanced, or complex to handle by email. You may have to deliver the message in person, where you can read cues and have some give and take. Then, you can follow up with a message that reiterates whatever came out of the conversation.<\/li><li><strong>Notice your tone.<\/strong> If there\u2019s emotional content, pay close attention to how the shaping of the words can create a tone. If you have bursts of short sentences, for example, it can sound like you\u2019re being brusque and angry.<\/li><li><strong>Consider your role.<\/strong> If there\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/finding-the-space-to-lead-3\/\">power dynamic<\/a> (for example, you are writing to somebody who works for you or who reports to you), you need to take into account how that affects the message. A suggestion coming from a superior in an email can easily sound like an order.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try this Mindful Emailing Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b><em>Begin by composing an email as usual. <\/em><\/b><em>Try using the Enter key more. Shorter paragraphs are easier to read on screens.<\/em><\/li><li><strong><em>Then s<\/em><\/strong><b><strong><em>t<\/em><\/strong><em>op, and enjoy a long deep breath. <\/em><\/b><em>Put your hands in front of you and wiggle your fingers to give them a little break. Now, lace your fingers together and place them behind your head. Lean back and give your neck a little rest. Now you\u2019re in a good position for the next step.<\/em><\/li><li><b><em>Think of the person, or people, who are going to receive the message. <\/em><\/b><em>How are they reacting? How do you want them to react? Do they get what you\u2019re saying? Should you simplify it some? Could they misunderstand you and become angry or offended, or think you\u2019re being more positive than you intend when you\u2019re trying to say no or offer honest feedback? <\/em><\/li><li><b><em>Look the email over again <\/em><\/b><em>and make some changes if necessary. Notice any spelling or grammar errors you may have missed the first time.<\/em><\/li><li><b><em>Don\u2019t send your email right away. <\/em><\/b><em>If it&#8217;s not time-sensitive, leave it as a draft, compose some other messages or do something else, and then come back to it.<\/em><\/li><li><b><em>Take one last look, <\/em><\/b><em>and press send.<\/em><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This article also appeared in the <a href=\"https:\/\/mindful-magazine.myshopify.com\/collections\/frontpage\/products\/december-2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 2015 issue of <em>Mindful<\/em><\/a> magazine<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emails can be a minefield for miscommunication.
