In this week’s video, I’ve got a quick life tip for you that may seem small but it actually has the power to save your career, your friendships and all your relationships…
Together, we’re going to fix this bad habit that you and I both do every day. Try it out, and then shoot me an email and let me know how it works out for you. (You’ll see why this is an ironic request when you watch the video…)
Matt, thank you so much for this tip, for being honest about why you procrastinate on some emails, and the thought you put into making this video for us! I do the same thing, in fact I just took a month to get back to a family friend who had sent me a long personal email. It weighed on me every day, but I wasn’t in a great place emotionally when I got it, was overwhelmed by it and didn’t feel able to give a proper response at the time, was working a ton and feeling scattered and kept forgetting, then went away for a week without email, blah blah blah, and felt I had to explain all this when I did finally respond…all as you described. Anyway, I am going to try your tip and hopefully I and the friends awaiting my response will feel better. Love your videos and always sage advice!
Hahaha… Thats’s me, too! :)
I’ve decided to change this!
Greetings from Germany.

Great message! The same can be said about text messages. Sometimes when people don’t respond back to my texts on a timely manner, I assume they don’t care or are just ignoring me. In reality, they were just busy and really intended to reply when they had time. Thanks Matthew for all your advice and words of wisdom.

Great advice Mathew, I think that we have all been guilty of this at one time or another. Procrastination or even sometimes overthinking things can also be part of the problem. I’ve recently have been trying very hard to be more present for the people and events that are important in my life. And responding with a simple “Hello or thinking about you” is often enough! Warm regards,
Lisa
