Great article! Couldn't agree more! I too have realized that when communicating in the async era, more clarity in writing leads to less wasted time. I re-read my messages when sending them to someone to ensure they are clear.

Kudos for doing that! I hate when people treat writing messages like a second hand skill that doesn't deserve any effort, especially when explaining technical stuff.
