E-glancing
the common practice of scan-reading your email messages. e-glancing has become more prominent due to workload and time constraints. e-glancing is facilitated by the growing popularity of pda type devices where emails are received out of the office environment. in such circ-mstances, ‘e-glancing’ -ssures a prompt response and efficient time management for busy professionals.
e-glancing also incorporates a function whereby (when reading an email) only the first few sentences of the email are actually studied by the receiver. as a result of e-glancing, emails in the business environment have become less wordy and exhibit direct evidence when calling for action i.e. incorporation of bullet points and numbering rather than long-winded explanations of entire scenarios.
busy professionals have unwittingly developed a technique known as e-glancing to ensure they can identify critical tasks (outlined by an inundation of electronic media) in a shorter time-frame, thus rendering their response with greater efficacy.
