Still emails have a special place in our lives, especially at the workplace. So, start making your emails count. Get to your point quickly, and cut out the fluff for faster, more efficient communications. Adding a word limit for your emails might not be such a bad idea. Your content is important, so why add information to take away from the core message? Work on making your emails short and sweet, so that your core message is being conveyed in a crisp, and easy to understand, way.
If your email is verbose, you run the risk of not only annoying the folks who read your emails, but also diluting your message from its importance. You run the risk of frustrating your reader to a point where they eventually stop opening your emails and you know where they will end up.
