I remember walking into the office of a company owner I was working with years ago to see him going through his phone messages and sending each one an email. When I asked him why he was doing that he responded, “If I send an email, I can respond in 20 seconds. If I make a phone call, I’ll be on the phone with each person for 30 minutes. Right now, I can spare 20 seconds, but I don’t have 30 minutes.
If you’re younger than 30 years old, you’re probably saying, “Duh……” If you’re over 40 you’re probably saying, “Hey, that’s a great idea.” At any rate, you have only so many minutes in each day. Make sure you make the most of each one. I know I’m going to. So if there’s anything you need, just call and I’ll . . . well, I’ll send you an email.

1Email may have been what worked years ago, today it’s texting. Texting is even more efficient still. There’s also the assurance the receiving party will get the message sooner. So text me!
