Don’t email or blog angrily

Michael Hyatt, grand poobah of Christian publishing giant Thomas Nelson, has a must-read article for all bloggers about thinking twice before you blog or email when you’re angry. I think it applies to a lot of misguided communication in our day. Although it’s easier to hide behind a screen or keyboard and fire verbal missiles, it’s not kind nor healthy for relationships.In brief, Hyatt’s points are:

• Cool down.
• Talk it out.
• Write a response.
• Do your homework.
• Schedule a meeting.
• Admit your mistakes.
