I feel like I’m always being bombarded with messages across so many platforms (work email, client email, teams, slacks, google chat, text, etc). How do you manage and actually respond to everything? I usually have to just prioritize a platform or two and get to the rest when I get to it.

I feel the same way. I got really overwhelmed yesterday because there are so many messages in so many different places. I get out a notebook and write everything down so I don't forget. I just respond as quickly as I can to everything.

I finally had to turn off my apple watch notifications to avoid getting overwhelmed by it all. The analog way is kind of the fix sometimes.

Is it common for people to get reached out to on a client email/messaging apps? I typically remind people I have the client computer just for scheduling/accessing files and don’t actively check notifications. Normally it’s fine, but a current client does not adhere to that.

I’m trying to break my lease. I have notified the management company of my intent to do so in writing. They are just refusing to respond and keep ignoring my follow-up emails. Do I have any recourse? Can they physically bar me from leaving?

PS: I have legal cause for being able to break the lease and I know that there is zero legal recourse they have.
