You put it off, it becomes a bigger thing. Do you owe the person an apology, how much of an apology? You feel you owe them a longer conversation, etc, etc, etc . . . and the whole thing spirals.
I have been there. And I am in no way, shape, or form a movie star! I’m just not real great at returning phone calls.
Perhaps a lot of us have been there.
Now, a movie star might be able to hire someone to field calls.
And for the rest of us, maybe just something like this:
“I try and return calls within 24 hours.” (so many people seem to expect calls to be returned so much sooner!)
Each of us can experiment and find out, what’s well-received and what works for me personally?
So, it’s not about across-the-board conformity.
It is about learning specific skills.
