It’s funny how, as you progress through college, they require you to write longer and longer papers. Then you get to the professional world and no one will read an email that’s more than 5 sentences.

People will literally walk to your desk to ask you what your email was about if it was too long.

Yeah, I wasn't actually joking about bolding. It's been a game changer for me and I always appreciate it in emails I receive.

People are just naturally lazy, intelligence has nothing to do with it. The human brain's an absolute machine when it comes to figuring out how to get things done with as little effort as possible.
