It's important to consider the medium in which you communicate with other people (friends, family, team members, or people you collaborate with). Information is utilized best when it is well documented and shared easily between parties so that everyone can reference things have been said and decisions that were made. Email, chat, and typically any form of typed or written communication is perfect for this. Phone calls, meetings, and generally face-to-face are less than ideal unless someone is taking detailed notes (which almost never happens). When someone says something I've found it best to say something along the lines of "Put it in writing." This applies to any decision, idea, task, event, etc. If it can't be said clearly through written word, than it's usually not executable, and they are wasting everyone's time.
