I usually send text messages or emails.

Owing to the prospect of electronic products, I always leave messages by texting or sending emails. Nowadays, everyone gets their phones, accompanying by internet, with them all the time rather than brings notes with them. It is very convenient and environment-friendly to do this.

Usually, I write a note to my colleagues. I use WhatsApp also for a quick message.
