The document outlines 8 axioms for effective email communication: 1. An email should have one clear subject. 2. Emails should be simple to respond to and dismiss when completed. 3. New subjects should be used when conversations change topics. 4. Suggest meeting times directly in initial emails and include assistants. 5. Make additional requested actions outside the norm as easy as possible. 6. Clarify required actions if an email contains a lot of information. 7. Short emails and responses are acceptable. 8. Consider using emoticons to convey tone since it's hard via email alone.
