Scheduled emails

Sometimes we have a brainwave in the middle of the night. You don’t want to lose the thought and you want to share it with someone right then. First things first, consider if you can make a note somewhere and follow up when it’s a good time for other people. If you absolutely have to share immediately, then schedule the message to go out when you expect the recipients to be at work. Most email and instant messaging tools provide this functionality, so you have no excuse. Err on the side of thoughtfulness - your colleagues will appreciate you for it.
