Creating email or message trails is an immensely useful habit.
Whenever you discuss something offline, immediately capture what was discussed or agreed to in a follow-up message to the other person.
The message does not have to be long or extensive – it just needs to convey the significance of the exchange.
Our memories are prone to failing, so a digital record between two people will help things not get missed.
A message will also encourage both sides to take action after the conversation.
And you’ll be glad to have made a digital record if disagreements arise about what was discussed.
