Communicating Too Much

An expert
recently advised

“There’s no such thing
as communicating too much
when you’re working on a project
with multiple people.”

That’s bullsh*t.
There IS such a thing
as communicating too much.

I’m part of a marketing project.
My first clue that the project manager
was an over-communicator
was when she set up a Yahoo loop
for the project.

I receive over 100 emails a day
from this Yahoo loop.

At first,
I read everything.
Once I figured out
that most of it didn’t pertain to me,
I only read the one or two a week
marked important.
The rest of the emails are deleted.

If you have talent on your team,
that talent is likely involved
in several projects,
not just yours.

Don’t waste his or her time
with unnecessary communication.
