Very few people email me except for endless newsletters that I accidentally signed up for. I try to un sub to a few every day but it seems never ending.

In the event that you actually do end up emailing me, it's contingent on me actually checking my personal email, which I never do when I'm not working, and only sometimes do during work hours.

If it's you asking me a favor that I'm not in the mental space for, I'll mark the message unread as a reminder to get to it later.

Maybe I just have weird email habits, but I can get away with this because email is not a heavy part of my job.

That being said, one guy was pitching me on something several times a month for several months. I just recently responded to him and apologized because of x y z. He said don't worry and we had a fruitful conversation later.

So, follow through is important!
