Texting, chat, and email. Texting, chat, and email. Now, you all know that each of these provides different pain points. We know that text can be so misconstrued. How many of us have been waiting on the dot dot dot coming back at us and it's not coming through and we're like, oh no, did they misinterpret me? Oh no, I did it yesterday. I got invited to be at this event and be somebody leading the event. And I said, that sounds great, I would love to, I just have this one thing. And then I didn't hear, and I didn't hear, and I went, oh no, oh no, did they get offended? That was ridiculous. Maybe they're gonna get back to me the next day. But our brain thinks, I have to have it instantaneous, and we start to worry, and we create stories in our head. So from now on, when somebody sends you a text, a chat, or an email, and you think there's trouble in it, there's conflict in it, there's concern in it, instead of going, oh no, where is this gonna go back and forth, Push the actual call button on that phone.
