The importance of concise email writing

In this episode, the speaker emphasizes the value of writing concise emails. They argue that just like in writing, where every word should serve a purpose, emails should also be examined to ensure they are as succinct as possible. The speaker believes that people have limited attention spans when going through their inboxes, so sending short and to-the-point emails is crucial in order to grab their attention. They express a preference for receiving and sending short emails, highlighting specific senders who excel at this approach. They also mention a negative experience with a lengthy newsletter, which led them to unsubscribe. The speaker ultimately views newsletters as round-up summaries rather than a medium for in-depth content delivery.
