Set up "office hours" - Deepstash

Set up "office hours"

Scheduling office hours will allow messages to be received and be responded to on a schedule. By asking the other party to wait, you are giving them the chance to come up with an answer on their own, because if it's actually difficult, it's better handled in person than over email in order to avoid misunderstandings.

Asking people to discuss complex matters during regular office hours leads to better communication and fewer emails.
