The whole pleasantries is a waste of time. In chat, tell me what you need in the first message. At the start of a meeting, get on with an agenda. I don't give a damn how your weekend was or want to discuss it. Get to the point and stop wasting my time. In email, don't tell me you hope you find me well as it is irrelevant and empty. Tell me what you need in the least words possible. In other words, stop with the flaff and get to the point.
