Reminder, email is asynchronous, it’s not instant messaging, it doesn’t need to be answered immediately, that’s a corporate construct. Take a moment, take five or ten. Just don’t answer. No guilt, no judgement, it’s just email. If your work culture means you need to treat it differently, immediately, that’s on them and they suck, so give them the bare necessity immediately and take your time with the real answer, everyone will be better off, even you.
