@sama potentially one trait of important people is that email correspondence is one of their most important jobs?

@sama they know if they wait they won't be able to respond later

@sama totally

@sama maybe that's why they're always so busy

@sama @nabeel interesting that you equate busy/important. Important people know what matters, the busy ones are often busy because they dont

@sama when I'm busiest, my response are times are fastest. I think the causation is being busy makes you more efficient. As much as reverse.

@sama absolutely. @jimgoetz is really good at that. reads the email and responds ASAP. a short one word reply is better than waiting.

@sama I once had @garrytan respond to a two paragraph email in 43 seconds.

@sama email *from you*. I promise they still ignore my emails.

@sama important people take decisions (based on accumulated knowledge/intuition). Grunts have to do minutes-hours of work for each email.
