For one thing, I give my permission to slack when I'm too busy. I also cut the extra stuff: quizilla memes, me-too posts, etc. Finally, I try to have icons that express solidarity concepts--things I find myself saying a lot. If someone's sick I can send them a two-line note with the Health Vibes icon, if someone's life sucks, I send them Ben Affleck with Bad Hair, if someone's done something cool, I have KudoKoala.

And if I perceive someone's swamped, I say: "Don't feel you have to reply to this comment." Not because I don't like hearing from people, but I don't want to add to their load.

I haven't posted much at all this week... my life's insane.

Oh, and hey--this comment requires no answer.
