This is a really helpful suggestion.
Today’s norms of responsiveness are ridiculous. We shouldn’t apologize for failing to meet them.
I have now stopped apologising for any delay i perceive in responding to emails and calls. I am retired and volunteer. Whilst I don’t want to deliberately cause any problems through my timelines, I also want to know when I have a day or week off I don’t have to be checking and responding to email and connecting. However, I haven’t quite reached the point I don’t check emails on days out as some of my timelines are time sensitive. But in due course I will achieve that moment too… where is I am unavailable I am actually not going to respond!
How do you work. What self imposed limits do you put on your email reply timelines?
