How It Helps Your Business English
A Do and Don't table on where to put the action, the owner and the deadline, when to mention someone and when a reaction is enough. Then lists of habits for message structure, status indicators and time zones, choosing a channel or a private chat, keeping a thread coherent, tone and GIFs, file naming, and team conventions. A checklist and a question and answer section close it.
You can start with the Do and Don't table, which puts each habit beside the one it replaces, then read only the section you need. Use the lists on status and time zones before you message a colleague who is away or in another country, and the channel section when you are deciding whether a question belongs in the open or in a private chat. The closing checklist gives you seven points to test a message against before you send it.
