I learned that in a business context, it was extremely important to adhere to one issue per email.

If I peppered someone with a series of questions or worse, bundled unrelated issues into one message, they would all probably be mishandled. I think it was a mismatch of expectations and/or how corporate workers use email apps.

So if I held every message to one topic, one question, things tended to work as expected.

By email this is true but you can’t do that as well by chat or texts. You only get one thread per contact.
