re-read emails you just sent

this is a good way to make sure you said what you wanted to say. it also helps to solidify your own perspective on the topic—you’d be surprised how things can be misinterpreted and how easily you can correct them by simply knowing what you meant. it also helps you monitor whether or not you sound like an asshole—this is important bc you always want to sound like the right kind of asshole if that’s the approach you’re going for.
