Somewhat surprisingly, email continues to be a dominant medium in 2015. It’s used for almost every business and personal interaction you could imagine. But that’s wrong. And it’s lazy. Email isn’t meant for discussions, idea generation, important news, detailed explanations, or anything fun.
What should you do to reduce email dependence?
If you’re communicating with colleagues get slack.com.
If you’re working on a project use asana.com or trello.com.
If you’re sharing your thoughts blog about it (keep sharing the link with new people you meet). Put it into a Google Doc if you want privacy.
Facebook and Facebook groups cover most personal engagement.
Write a letter to say thank you.
Call your clients to engage with them.
Visit your family to demonstrate your love.
Don’t ### email.
