If you reply to messages the second they come in, people start assuming you’re always available. Over time, that turns into pressure, not productivity.

It’s okay to pause, finish what you’re doing, and respond when it actually fits your schedule. Setting realistic response habits early helps protect your time and reduces burnout without needing a big confrontation.
