So, yesterday, I tallied up how many people I received or provided communication with on Saturday and the number was far higher than what I thought it would be. My guess was 18 people, but it was actually almost 100. So, I assigned a ranking system and had to think about whether each exchange is equal.
And, after some thinking – no, not all exchanges are equal. And, I’m ok with that. Some types of communication are more important than others. It’s not necessarily a comment on the other person (even though is does work out that way regarding ‘significance’ for the most part), but some stuff is just priority compared to others. But we can’t necessarily do without, nor would we want to sometimes, the less important stuff. It reminds of old episodes of ER. They couldn’t be running around saying STAT for the whole hour or we’d become burned out as viewers. And, life and the short exchanges with the guy at the post office or the quick call to your brother to remind him about dinner, they are all part of it.
