Comment on It’s Your Choice by Adam White

I used to get sucked into email p*ssing matches a lot. I started using the exact technique you mentioned – take time, step back, look at it, try to find the good in it.

Another technique I use is to write my response but not send it. (I also delete the name in the To: field so I don’t accidentaly send the email). I would then save it and re-read it some time later -1 day to 1 week – and see if I still feel the same way. If I do – I make sure it’s written fairly neutrally and then send. If I don’t feel the same way, or it’s a battle not worth fighting, I simply delete it.

I’ve also had someone else read messages for me to see if they can pick up any negative tone or possible areas of miscommunication.

I still get caught by the odd message but now I am much more aware of tone and I’m less likely to start an email war.
