We’re often compelled to write an email by filling out both the subject line and the body.

If you have a quick message to send, skip the body, and shorten your message to just the subject line: Shorter is better A standard email telling everyone “I’m going on vacation” might look like this: That’s a lot of work just to say “I’m going to be gone for two weeks”.
