Every email expert says send at Tuesday, 10am.
Nobody asks what your reader is actually doing at that moment.

By 10am they've already made 50 micro-decisions.
Email becomes just another task to process.
Not a moment to absorb your insights.
Mental bandwidth is already depleting.

Your perfect timing is someone's terrible timing.
Send to everyone at once and half get bad timing.
Segment by geography or pick the least bad option.
โ Optimize for your highest-value time zone.
