So many of our deadlines are self imposed or artificial. This year let’s all try to not email after hours, on weekends, or on holidays. Let’s remove meetings and deadlines that aren’t needed, and when they are - make them reasonable (e.g. don’t give 24 hrs to respond).

Dear colleague, you sent your first email about a non-urgent matter on Christmas Eve.
Following up first thing on New Year’s Day - a literal public holiday for both of us - with an email asking why I haven’t answered yet is A Bit Much.
Academics, we can’t go on like this.
