Oh brother, this is the one for me.

2. It’s always worth taking ample time to get a message across to others. It’s the same temptation: to rush through some phone call, message, or conversation because you can’t really spare the time and you have so much still waiting for you to do. Resist it! If people can see that you’re harassed, they’ll often try to be helpful by saying they understand when they don’t. Few situations are more maddening than discovering, too late, that someone you were relying on for a key element in a project misunderstood what you said that you wanted.

I'm miss using speed reading. When I read email I need to get through 50 to 80 emails a day as quick as I can. My latest mistake is applying that same fast read to everything I read. This has had the follow muffs:- mistook "calcium carbonate" for "sodium carbonate" at a sale at a massage supply store. I can't use the calcium version and because it was a close out sale there's no return. $10 lesson.
- read a friend's email as confirming morning meeting times when she'd written afternoon.
- ordered the wrong adapter for my macbook: the magsafe (1) and not the one I needed, magsafe (2).
Lesson and adjustment: BEFORE starting to read set approach: Is this OK for a skim and "star" or must I take my care?
