If you sit next to me, you better talk to me, don't mail me

I so want to say this to everyone. I mean why should you not directly go and talk or call a person who is sitting just a few blocks from your cubicle. Just like guys who talk about saving paper by not printing it, we need to save email messages by not drafting it. Don’t send emails!... emailing is fun as long as you are sending it to someone who isn’t near you. Also, if you need a proof or an approval, you gotta send an email to the guy sitting next to you, that’s legit.

in general, stop mailing and start calling. More on Don’t Send That Email. Pick up the phone!.
