When every sentence in your email begins with 'I', the note can feel self-focused even when you don't mean it to. Vary the subject: 'The deck is attached', 'Next steps are…', 'Happy to jump on a call'. Same content, less 'I, I, I'. This is especially noticeable in status updates and performance reviews.
