When messaging someone, it's often tempting to send a big block of text, instead of separating your thoughts into separate messages. But did you know that this can make your thoughts difficult to respond to?

<!--endintro-->

### Why separate messages?

* **Clarity** - Separating your messages makes them easier to digest.
* **Reducing hassle** - The people you are messaging will be able to respond or interact with each message separately.

Hey All!

I've followed up with Tiago on adding that new feature to SSW.Rules! See my email: SSW.Rules - New Feature

FYI - I spoke to Gordon, and he agrees that pizza is better than pasta! Thumbs up this message if you agree!

Also, I'm not sure that I'll be able to get my PBIs done for this Sprint...

::: bad
Figure: Bad example - This message contains many different subjects! It's informative, but hard to read, and respond to.
