Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

Before you hit send on that next email, pause.
 
One hasty message can damage your credibility, confuse your audience, or even cost you a client.
 
The phrase “check yourself before you wreck yourself” rings especially true in email communication.
 
Start by reviewing tone — is it respectful and clear, or could it be misread?
 
Typos and grammar mistakes may seem minor but can undermine professionalism.
 
Always double-check names, dates, and links; nothing says “I didn’t care” like sending someone the wrong info.
 
If it’s a sensitive subject, step away for five minutes, then reread with fresh eyes.
 
Consider how the recipient might feel or react.
 
Think before you reply all.
 
Think before you forward.
 
In today’s fast-moving digital world, taking a moment to “check yourself” is the best insurance against avoidable mistakes — and a simple step toward more effective communication.
 
One email can build trust or break it.
