Email and Meetings Don’t Mix

It’s never a good idea to send an email while you’re in a meeting.

Don’t write or send email while you’re in a meeting.

People are talking. Your attention is fragmented. You’re rushing to compose your message so you don’t get called on before you’ve had a chance to tune back in to the discussion.

Not the best time to be crafting a work-related document (and remember, email is a work-related document) that will reflect on your professionalism and intelligence.
