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

Same here and when I reflect back on it I often find that your second point (overthinking) is the root cause so now I try to be more candid and just reply in the moment. In reality the message that you take 30 mins to think about and write out is only going to be maybe marginally better than the one that takes 1 min.

Also I've found that prompt replies have second order effects like creating good impressions on people and moving conversations (and often outcomes) along quicker
