A phenomenon that we deserve)) it also, came to us from social networks, but thanks to it we got a lot of benefits.

So what is it?

There are two types of communication.
Synchronous communication is when you send a message and the recipient immediately reads it and immediately responds.
Asynchronous communication is when you send a message without expecting an immediate response.
When we send a message in messenger, we see immediately that it has been delivered or read. We KNOW it. But we don't expect an immediate response.
We have developed the skill of AO in social networks. However, with the shift to remote working, social media has become a work tool.

By the way, in the "etiquette of social networks" is acceptable not to respond for a day. But more than a day it is already strange. Then either something happened to the person or he forgot and you need to remind about yourself
And as for priorities. We always find time for what is really important to us)))) And of course, we feel what message we answer with joy, and what answers we put off until the last.
If you easily forget about a message or a person, systematically long to respond to the same chats.
This is a good reason to engage in self-analysis "why do I sabotage communication here?" and so on.
Just like for those who are not answered, it makes sense to think about why ;)
