What kind of email is this?

Everyone uses emails, but not all emails are equal.

Here are just a few of the types of emails I get, every day:

1: Monthly “newsletters” full of the sender’s achievements
2: Spam sales messages from companies I’ve never heard of
3: “Buy now or else” special offers on stuff I don’t need or want
4: Marketing ploys from people I’d forgotten I’d subscribed to, or why
5: Useful information, value or questions from people I know, like and trust

Only that last kind is actually welcome, enjoyable and impactful.

The rest are just life-sapping digital noise.

Before you press “send” on your next email, think about how it’ll be received. If it’s not a “Category 5”, you might just be wasting everyone’s time.
