I’m not giving up ‘no worries’, sorry.

They missed by far the most important one:

I just wanted to confirm from our meeting just now, did you want me to (some crazy shit that could cause problems)?

(and DO NOT do any of the crazy shit until you have the email confirming it)

This fucking garbage again. Just be genuine, you dont need to find some optimal way to flex / power game in emails.

I'd say this is more like how to email effectively. If you want to email like a boss, you need to master the subtle art of the one-word email.

This misses A LOT of of social nuances. Don't use this if you can read the room and think for yourself. Terrible guide

If I get an email that says "it's easier to discuss in person" I am DEFINITELY writing that shit down.

What kind of personality is always aware of this kind of perceptive interaction, and what are their core thought functions?

✓ Okay, boomer.

"How to email in a stiff, cold, professional tone for the first two emails in a chain before the pretense is dropped and we email informally because there are more important things to do."

It'd best if we.

Why does this feel so wrong?

I have a friend I help with her start up and occasionally she starts that shit with me. I have zero patience for boss speak and my labor is free so I just tell her off.

Just because in your head you RP as a boss doesn't mean I'm going to do a meeting instead of an email, and a little friendly, humble speech goes a long way vs. whatever the fuck these rude ass emails are.

I will need to leave for at...

Like a boss

So, fun fact, this is lifted directly (except with shittier graphics and formatting and also what I think are the remnants of OCR or autocorrect mistakes that didn’t get fixed, which is kind of hilarious - for instance, the middle square should be “Wording this is hard,” not “Working this is hard”) from Dani Donovan’s Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t Done When You Don’t Feel Like It, an amazing resource for people with ADHD. (Highly recommend, by the way, even though it was kinda pricy.) It was meant as a guide for anxious, dysregulated people who severely struggle with writing these types of emails and communications. It’s not quite the investment bro bullshit I think a lot of people here seem to think.

I mean, whether it has value in itself is up to the beholder. I just wanted to give credit to the actual creator and provide a little context.

How do you even start? I'm regularly stumbling on the form of address for unfamiliar people in a business context, especially when it's hard to infer their gender by name.

Dear Sir or Madam
