Why Do Deadly Sins Come in “Sevens”? 0

(That’s a rhetorical question.)

I was talking with my friend yesterday about how rapid-fire “reply-to-all” business emails can be dysfunctional, leading to confusion, crossed wires, and duplicated efforts.

Now comes Science 2 dot 0 with a list of the Seven Deadly Email Sins. Explanations at the link.

1. Ping pong – constant emails back and forth creating long chains
2. Emailing out of hours
3. Emailing while in company
4. Ignoring emails completely
5. Requesting read receipts
6. Responding immediately to an email alert
7. Automated replies
