I agree, shorter emails are much easier to read. Hi Lisa,

Sometimes we think we're being productive if we keep plugging along but at least in my case, that's when I make the most mistakes. Thanks for your suggestion. That’s an excellent suggestion.

I'll definitely check it out. What a great idea to be able to schedule when you send e-mails. Our clients' schedules don't always match ours. Thanks for your comment. I didn’t know about Boomerang.

Also, I use a gmail app called Boomerang (free) that lets me send emails on the day and time I want them to go out. This serves two purposes: 1) I get to draft emails in advance and have them sent out when I want and 2) I get to send emails at a proper time (not on weekends or late at night to clients to not set an ugly expectation) :-) Great tips! ~Kesha Piggybacking on Marshall’s comment, I don’t write emails when I know I don’t have the time or don’t feel like it, knowing it won’t be my best.

Doing so tends to lead to rambling emails (a clear violation of point #3), while making point #2 a must. Heck, I have a hard enough time when I am coherent, never mind when I have toothpicks holding my eyes open! Hi Lisa,

A few of my clients have moved to corporate offices for the same reason, yet still work from home one or two days a week. Congrats on your success!

I'm going to have to go through a few more of your blogs to get even more ideas.. We're in a situation of busting at the seams at the house (3 part-time hires) and are unfortunately probably going to have to find commercial space... Your "be creative in making a desk" #4 we know well :)... Thanks for the tips… I’m going to have to go through a few more of your blogs to get even more ideas..

Between a laptop, papers and other things we need to take with us to meet with clients, it's better to have a lighter case. I just switched computer cases and it's made a big difference, especially when I travel. It’s definitely light.
