Emailing on Monday morning

It’s Monday morning between 5:00am and 9:00am and every newsletter I have subscribed to, new tournament listings emails, etc., etc., are now flying into my email inbox. Since I have also received lots from spam from the night before, my inbox is quite full. In addition to that, I have three project deadlines and a conference call. After all, I’ve had a whole weekend away from the office!

In short, I don’t have time to read the newsletters, even though I’m almost fairly certain that they contain things that would be valuable to me. But, I don’t have time and I just delete them.

Our Advice: Do not send critical emails about your tournament on Sunday night! Most will end up caught in the I don’t have time for this net most of us struggle with on Monday morning. Monday evening, or Tuesday-Thursday mornings are much better times to send email that you would like acted on quickly or that you would like people to read and save.
