I'm bad at replying to people. I often let messages sit in my inbox for some time, while I work on other higher-priority things. How can I get better at this? Ideas: - Delegate more so im less busy - spend less time thinking about a detailed reply and just send - give them a quick "im busy, will reply later" message

Sounds like you feel bad about this or at least don't feel good about it. What does getting better about replying to email get you? I assume you reply to emails that matter most. Focus on the truly important things and work to develop self-acceptance. Replies beget replies in most cases.

Another approach is to set aside email time (I do this) and reply only to emails that help you accomplish something you need to get done. If your inbox count is bothering you, turn off counts and indicators of any kind, use filters to get things out of your inbox or pre-processed in some other way.
