DON’T CHECK YOUR EMAIL FIRST THING IN THE MORNING I hate to admit it, but I’m guilty of this far too often: As soon as I wake up in the morning, I grab my phone, check my email, and clear out my inbox. Dozens of times throughout the day, you refresh your phone to see if you have new emails.

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to.
