I’m asyncronous! It’s amazing how good I am with email and how bad I am with voicemail. It dawned on me today when I realized it took me four days to return a voicemail someone left for me. Why is it so hard for me to return phone calls? And why is it so easy for me to return emails? I’m just not a phone person. We don’t even have an answering machine on our home phone. I think the reason is simple. A phone call is an interruption. Email is asyncronous. I can answer it when I want to answer it. I don’t feel the same time pressure. When someone leaves a voicemail it’s like the clock starts ticking. I don’t feel that way with email. So I’ve concluded that I’m asyncronous. So if you want to get ahold of me I’d recommend email versus phone
