How To Remind Someone Through Email

Here’s the quickest, easiest, and non-douchiest way to remind someone to respond to your email:

Send them back an email that says:

   bump.

That’s it!  Just reply back to the email thread with the word “bump.”

I learned this a while ago from my friend Sungho.  Leave it up to an Asian to come up with something so elegantly simple ;-)

The first time I ever saw this “bump” method in action was in 2011 when Sungho sent me a time-critical email……and I didn’t respond:

A quick “bump” from him, and the burden once again fell onto me to respond.  AND he didn’t sound annoying!
So next time you need a time-critical email answered, give it a bump!

Use this trick wisely my friend,
