About this episode
This episode discusses a tip to prevent sending emails too soon by leaving recipient fields blank until the message is ready.
When drafting an email, leaving the To, CC, and BCC fields blank can stop an accidental send before the message is ready. Jamie from Leeds in the United Kingdom learned it the hard way after sending emails mid-draft from hitting Command+Enter, and now parks recipients in Notepad until the email is done. If a send delay is not turned on, this manual habit keeps unfinished email drafts from going out. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala. Find us everywhere at https://dailytipspodcast.com.
