S3/E38: Is Immediacy in Communications Necessary?

April 30, 2019 By Caroline Trudeau Leave a Comment

Overwhelmed with all the Communications Channels…

I’m feeling a certain kind of way about the demands of all my communications channels… Overwhelmed mostly, and wondering: do I really have to respond? 聽Do I want to be the girl that is always responsive or do I want to become someone who is less responsive?

Meaghan helps me with prioritization and boundary setting to reclaim my time:

  1. Income-generating activities demand immediate responses
    • Incorporate office hours / office hours to communicate expectations with people who expect responses from us
  2. Close friend and family
  3. Entertainment, when time allows!

To not look like a rude-ass-bitch to my non-iWatch sensitized friends, I’ve also updated my wrist notifications and am getting in the practice of putting on DND when I am meeting with someone…

I am exploring the kind of communicator I am, evaluating my energy management in the context of my communications, and also practicing “detachment with love” for those energy investments that don’t generate a positive return on investment.

Shout out also to my brother Julien for teaching me how to communicate in a circle of really important people, and on Twitter. 聽I know how you work Bou and you inspire me with it. 聽Je t’aime.

Finally, I’m taking control of how I want to be communicated to.

Here are the best ways to reach me:

  1. For business: email and LinkedIn
  2. Friend and family: text and WhatsApp
  3. Entertainment: Instagram

Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. It is a Introducing The Dance Floor @ #Club1670. 

It is a project a very long time in the making. I had a suspicion I would eventually replace the carpet when at 27 years old, I set my mind (and all my savings) on winning the real estate bidding war on #300. 

I had no idea it would take me 17 years, 5 dogs, several Friendsgivings, countless parties, 6 jobs, a global pandemic and all the beautiful messes we made along the way to get here. 

I wanted to bring #Europe to #Reston with a herringbone wood floor. Then, I realized the impracticality and rarity of this gorgeous craft in #America. It made no sense to invest in it for The Club. 

Finally, it was this engineered wood called Seaside I selected. I knew I made the right decision when I turned the sample around and saw its country of origin: #Germany 馃枻鉂わ笍馃挍. 

It鈥檚 even better than I had imagined. 

You are invited. Bring your favorite socks and dance jam.  #letsdance
