Last week, I posted about this idea of adding an email signature that essentially said that you do not need to respond if received outside of regular working hours. This idea went viral, no joke - almost 5 million impressions and counting. However, there was a lot of input that this approach is not a good one, and perhaps "schedule send" or "delay delivery" of email is a more appropriate approach. What do you think?

Pro Tip: One way to move up the ladder at work and get promoted is to remember birthdays. I know, it sounds silly but listen. By the taking the time to remember, or even put in your calendar, your boss and your team birthday’s, you show that you care. Birthdays may not be important to you, but it is for others. Extra Pro Tip - wish them happy birthday before their birthday. Send them a note or mention personally that you know their birthday is coming up and you want to wish them the best. There are so many others reasons to do this, but selfishly it will help you get promoted. People who are liked get promoted. If you are a high performer, and well liked, you have the winning combination. PS. My birthday is this month, that’s what inspired this post. Question. What month is your birthday? Comment below.
