emails: Be happy, don’t worry

Senior response to emails, presented at 2020 AGM.

The picture shows that half our members open the Events emails, and that it takes a day or two for them to open it.  The slide show explores

  • what to expect when emailing fellow seniors,
  • filtering to just read notable emails
  • approaches for urgent communications vs those that can wait
  • and what to expect of yourself too.
