Another way of handling email … or most other communication like social media … especially if it is non-important information … is to DELAY your response.
Some people are addicted to communications and want an instant answer so that they can start a long comment chain of completely nonsensical irrelevant information just to waste time.
I especially like the start of a comment chain from someone who starts with just one word or short messages ‘hey’ … ‘hello’ … ‘call me’
I’ll purposely wait a day or two to get back to them and say … ‘oh I just saw this, what’s up’ … and if they response immediately … I’ll wait another day to get back to them.
Eventually, people realize not to contact me unless its something important and they give me enough information to respond back in time.
