Rules to Better Email

When a colleague or a Client asks you to do a task verbally, what method do you have for remembering to do it? I think the best solution is to send yourself an email CC'ing the person that asked you to do the task saying "As per our conversation..." This way both of you know that the job needs to be done. Writing yourself a "Post-It Note" has never worked for me. This is really important especially when you are working for clients so there is a record of the requests for work.

Always add "To myself" in the email body so that other people CC'd know what is going on. Don't write it in the email subject as it's confusing to other recipients of the email. Put it in big font as well.

Figure: Good Example - Send yourself an email, and make it clear to everyone else
