email is my favorite medium of making sure it is documented and that there will be nothing left out.

After a meeting or a discussion with a work colleague, I would send an email and check if everything is in order. This helps create a digital trail of our conversation unless of course if it is recorded.

There is a problem with misunderstanding in some emails though that even if your tone is neutral someone could read it differently due to word choices so proper care must be used as well in what to use.
