September 20, 2006I Have a Dentist Appointment at 3:00 and…
Sometimes I catch myself giving too much information. When a journalist from INC magazine asked if she could interview me Monday afternoon, I started into a long explanation saying,
- I have a dentist appointment at 3:00 so I’ll need to leave at 2:15 to be sure to have enough time to get there, and it should take an hour after which I need to make a few stops and then…
I realized all she needed to know was when I was and wasn’t available. I edited my email to that, much briefer message.
