I’ve not counted recently but I reckon I get more than 100 emails a day, work and private, plus 10-20ish WhatsApp messages plus occasional texts, messenger messages etc. I feel constantly overwhelmed and stressed because I’ve not got back to someone or I’m looking like I’m ghosting someone (example of this might be someone I don’t know sends me their CV then follows up with 3 WhatsApp messages to check I’ve got it.
Any advice on how we’re meant to cope with this in the modern world? Historically we’d open the post and a secretary would answer letters, or someone would phone then when you leave the office you can no longer take that call.
Im not a brilliant communicator at the best of times and just find it all really hard to cope with. urgh.
Any advice?
