Another rule of thumb, I think also from Atomic Attraction: roughly mirror people’s response times. If someone takes days to get back to you, and you answer right away, you come off low value, even desperate.

Scheduling emails and text messages can help. But you risk sending outdated replies if you get another message in the meantime. I wish there was a feature to automatically cancel a scheduled message.
