Read every message, every e-mail
As soon as it is received, without fail
And compose a reply to the message sent
To act immediately should be the intent..
Answering promptly is a way of showing respect
For the sender’s time, by not showing neglect
You would be perceived more favorably
You would enhance your networking capacity..
*
To this culture of immediacy I find it hard to subscribe
It causes me unease that I cannot quite describe
To see and respond to a message immediately
Fragments my time and reduces my productivity
Once I am distracted by a message, it is hard to get back
To the work at hand, therefore the best productivity hack
For me is to schedule specific times during the day
To check messages and e-mails and answer them away..
*
I want to take time to understand the messages sent
To thoughtfully compose replies is my intent
That takes time, and cannot be
Accomplished with a looming sense of urgency
*
If you’ve sent me a message be prepared to wait a day or two
The most appropriate reply I want to send to you…
Passion...unbridled
