Or in the morning, I check up all my previous day and night's messages because most people in US are awake at that time when I'm sleeping, and I respond to that. What is your schedule of commenting and engaging with people? How do you do it?
And here I'm smiling because I don't know if you were watching me this morning, but when I woke up at 5:00 AM, I was having my coffee and that's exactly what I was doing. Not from my phone, from my computer. I was actually just making sure that I replied to everyone. And if relevant, I send a resource or I make sure that I'm up with those connections. So that's exactly what I do instead of doing it scattered throughout the day on the phone, which is very disruptive.
