The number of emails I send, and phone messages that I leave, that go unanswered grows exponentially each day. I used to think it was just plain rude (not to mention discourteous and bad for business) to not answer messages. Part of me still feels that way. I answer every communication I receive, even if it is to just to say &#8220;no&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t know&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;ll get back to you soon.&#8221; But I have to admit that doing so is taking up more and more of my time, leaving me less and less able to accomplish the myriad tasks on my to-do list. I know that I am not alone in this. I notice that even my own friends and business associates are hard pressed to keep up and respond in a timely fashion, if at all. But it just goes against my grain to blow someone off by not responding at all. I remain determined to respond, even if it take me a little longer than it used to.
