I'm starting to think there's something wrong with me. I get anxious whenever I don't get replies to emails, facebook messages and SMS messages. Which, in reality, is understandable, because people aren't always online/next to their phones, or even if they are, they probably have other things to attend to, right?
I think part of it might be the fact that I'm almost continuously connected to the internet and all its attendant messaging media, from the moment I wake up (before I put on my make-up) I tweet a little prayer for you...
Unfortunately, with my job, there's not really an easy option to disentangle myself from this web of communication. Well, perhaps there is, but I don't have the self-discipline to shut off my channels of connectivity. But perhaps I should try harder. It's certainly not a healthy thing to be spending half of your day semi-preoccupied with the fact that people haven't responded to your messages.
I need to learn to be more asynchronous.
