email manifesto (energy-powered, performance first)

 how we work

• We reply Monday–Thursday. That’s when you’ll hear from us.
• No weekend inbox taps. We won’t send you emails that steal your recharge time.
• If we work on a weekend, we schedule for weekdays. You’ll get it later, not during your downtime.
• Weekend emails to us are seen on Monday. Promise.
• OOO means OOO. When we’re out, we’re unplugged—and we hope you are too.

how to email us (so work moves faster)

• Subject lines with a verb: “Approve Q3 plan by Wed”. We love knowing what's inside and when you need it before we even open it.
• Limit decisions per email. Fewer threads, faster answers.
• Bullets > paragraphs. Clarity beats word count. We don't need anything extra, promise!
• Use the right lane:
  • Urgent or time-sensitive → text (if you're a client, you have the number)
  • Decisions/docs → shared doc with comments
  • FYIs/updates → email

our commitments to you

• Performance over performative: We won’t flood your inbox to look busy.
• Energy-smart timing: We schedule and batch emails to protect focus.
• Relentless prioritization: We’ll ask “What actually moves the needle?”—and answer that first.

your permission slip

Protect your energy, too. Schedule your emails, set guardrails, and rock that OOO reply. We’ll still be here on Monday.

We strive to give our clients the high-touch service they have invested in, whether through face-to-face, phone, or video interaction. We give ourselves time to think, create, and strategize. These things can't be done by popping back and forth in email. 

Marcey Rader and RaderCo have built a business helping people move beyond the inbox. Clients come to us with thousands of emails, feeling overwhelmed about what they might be missing and the balls they may be dropping.

Email is a tool. It is not a zone of genius, an escape from your most important work, or a place to have a real conversation. There are exceptions, like customer or tech support, where email response time is the primary role. However, those are exceptions, not rules, and there are still boundaries when not on the clock.

Essential communications arrive in your inbox, but it doesn't mean you have to be in and out of it all day. Now shut down your email, create something fun, or go outside!
