Anyone find it difficult to keep up with emails and processing all the info on them real-time? If so, why? And any advice on how to improve?

Less processing all the info and more navigating the unreasonable expectations they contain. I don’t always have time to answer non-project emails before EOD or next day and often I don’t have any time on my plate for the day for new requests and it stresses me out. I originally beat myself up about this a lot because I should plan better and stay more ahead of things right? But the reality is not all roles are set up to facilitate you staying ahead and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. If the culture is to wait to the last minute to engage folks for assistance or technical expertise, you can’t change that solo. So when I need to bust out some work, I just don’t check my email. If you’re waiting until the last minute or asking me for something you should be able to do yourself (find a file you’ve been shown the location of multiple times), sorry but I just don’t have time today.

Recruiter from Amazon reached out and wants me to interview for a position which is not quite matching my background. While I never got the opportunity to interview for the position I applied online. Is it ok to express that I do not feel comfortable with this position as it requires skillset which I have no clue. I wonder how does recruiter match me for that.
