War on Inbox
I genuinely am averse to making new posts while my inbox is bursting at the seams with messages I haven't replied to, so I'll be trying to reply, mark-as-read, or delete things this month. (Maybe a few messages each day?) If you get a reply on something ancient, idk sorry, my wires got crossed or I had trouble simply deleting the message without acknowledging it.
Now if only it didn't take me on average 30 minutes of hemming and hawing to reply to each message, wondering about the appropriateness of my tone and reply length, or whether the message even warrants me bothering the other person with a reply... Or if I didn't have a habit of reading messages, replying in my head in detail, and then thinking "Well, I don't have time to type that all up right now" but mentally marking the reply off as ✔ Fully Written; No Further Action Needed khhhhhh. (Maybe I need to start using voice dictation to reply?)
I will NOT be replying to anything on this post, so only comment on it if you've been longing to shout into the void! 😂
Update: A good percentage of my inbox turned out to be new posts from users' tags I'm subscribed to (that I apparently never mark as read) and messages that I have already replied to (I often open messages in a new tab to reply to them which does NOT automatically mark them as read and then I forget to do it manually), so the task is still somewhat intimidating to wrap up, but nowhere as dire as it previously appeared.
