I thought of my first experience in receiving emails.
like the open blogs continuing pouring in over my phone and computer
or the approved likes I would get on a comment made. At first, I was overwhelmed with emotion that people were actually reaching out to me.
Giving me Their innermost passion and feelings on their concerns. or how they made it through a rough patch and survived.
But after awhile the emails and notifications became a little overwhelming all in its self
I started getting to many.
A month ago I whent to muting my devices to stop the sound notifications from coming in while at the same time I could still check what was going on with the community at my leisure.
I didn't know it then but a separation started to accrue
and I didn't know the importance and power emails have as a major tool in this business.
The separation that I mentioned was not being connected to the community. as I thought I was.

I was not receiving the newest and freshest information available
and I found it harder to connect with my network website projects.
So yesterday I decided to do something different to solve my issues in staying connected.
Sound notifications:
I brought my sound notifications back only with
character. mine is the sound of little birds chirping because I can listen to it
continuously and it doesn't get on my nerves hearing it all the time.
Get involved in the emails sent:
I started in the habit of just briefly reading emails over without
committing or giving a like.
I Changed all that and got involved. I answer as many emails as I can and I find I am more freshly connected to members and by reading your content my knowledge becomes sharpened.
Now I look at emails as not only a tool for communication but also an immediate written thought or expression. Giving to me at the time it was written.
So that means your still there if I answer the email as soon as I get it.
which means I will have a higher rate of staying in contact with you and countless others in the community.

So, for now, I will be keeping my eye on the little Birdy.
