That was also me, but it became unsustainable. I got a lot of reader mail and had to update my contact page to redirect some of it to other experts.

I stopped treating my inbox as an obligation and I reply at my own pace. I still give each email as much consideration as I can, but I no longer feel that it’s required. Some emails go unanswered.

I am slowly working on setting boundaries, especially in response to expectations that I did not opt into. It’s indeed a very contextual reply.
