Could NYT also produce two more guides?

1. How To Use Teams/Slack/Etc.

2. How To Use Email

Meeting optimization is great, but I don't want to spend my entire day in Teams/Slack messages with people that start messages saying "hi" with no follow-up.

Same with email. Email is not chat! Don't send me 10 1-line emails a day. Call me instead. Or send me 1 10-line email. Make email intentional and high-value.

Point being: if any one of (1) email, or (2) chat, or (3) meetings is not working well, I bet you have problems in either or both of the others.



There is no sense to send email with several points/questions. People select two of ten point to answer conveniently ignoring the rest.
