Do you take steps to be clear when sending dates to others?

Last updated by Tiago Araújo [SSW] 23 days ago.See history

When you are planning on meeting someone or planning an event, it is very important that the date is extra clear.

To ensure complete clarity, you should always include the day of the week alongside the date when it occurs. This will ensure there is no confusion, and everyone is on the same page.

Figure: Bad example - The team know what dates you're coming, but it's not clear in which days of the week

Figure: Good example - Having the day of the week next to the date makes it easy for the team to know exactly when you're visting


Use abbreviations

Using abbreviations is a great idea because they save space by conveying information in a more compact form, which is especially useful for tight layouts or designs. They also improve readability by reducing clutter, making content easier to scan and understand quickly.
