Hello there! I remember the days when communication was all about lengthy letters, expensive phone calls, and face-to-face chats. Now, we’re in the digital age where texts, emails, and video calls are king. It’s a whole new world, and to be honest, it can be overwhelming at times.

I’m sure you’ve experienced this too. One day, you’re juggling emails from colleagues, texts from family, and DMs from friends, and the next thing you know, you’ve missed an important message. Digital communication can feel like a whirlwind, but trust me, it doesn’t have to be.

Let’s go back to that time when I was neck-deep in unread emails and notifications. It was chaos, but I learned some valuable lessons that have helped me stay afloat. And you know what? I’m going to share those with you, hoping you’ll find them handy too.

First off, it’s about understanding the medium. Not all messages are suitable for all platforms. The context is king! Casual catch-ups? Text or DM. Official matters? Emails or scheduled calls. Once you get the hang of this, things start to get less cluttered.
