Take a break, or keep working — if that works for you (lexfriedman.substack.com)
But sometimes we cause work stress by inaction. Sometimes, you put people’s minds at ease by sharing, by sending the email, by giving the information. If you’re the boss — or frankly, if you’re simply the sender — it’s your job to craft a workplace (or an email) that makes clear no immediate response is needed; you’re just sharing the info you can, while it’s top of mind for you, so that the other person has it.
Well said, Lex. The quote above. The whole post. Just all of it.
