The importance of ‘processing time’

Posted by: alisrowe, June 2, 2024

Yesterday I received a text message asking whether I could do something the following day. I read the message and then carried on with my day. Although I knew I was going to say “yes”, I didn’t reply until the evening.

I refer to the time between reading the message and responding to it as ‘processing time.’ 

To have ‘processing time’ is so important to me. It’s important regardless of whether I feel I’m going to say “yes” to whatever it is or whether I think I’m going to say “no.”

Read my article to learn more about ‘processing time’. Consider whether making more processing time would be a good habit to develop!
