Skip sending just greetings without info.
Avoid uninformative standalone "greeting" messages, when saying "hello" to a recipient. Even if you send your actual message immediately after that. This habit distracts are work, wastes other people time, and hence causes irritation. By holding down the Shift key and then pressing Enter, you can seamlessly move to the next line, so you can type "Hello", then Shift + Enter , then your actual message.
