“Being available has become an obligation.” Reliability may have expanded beyond what your capacity can support. Try this: Choose when and how you are available instead of offering constant access.

  1. Reliability may have expanded beyond what your capacity can support.
  2. Equating access to you with care from you.
  3. Responding immediately to every request.
  4. Choose when and how you are available instead of offering constant access.
