You need to experience it and try stuff out, run little experiments, tweak it.

And a lot of those expectations are in our own heads, right?

So often we get a message, it comes into our inbox and instantly we feel that little itch of guilt.

We think, oh no, the message is here.

It's clearly urgent.

I need to respond right away.

But actually when you drill down into message culture, many of the messages that we receive are not urgent.

The person who sent them,

it's quite happy to wait a little while for a reply.

But in our own heads, we have manufactured this false expectation of instant response, right?

So there's a massive illusion going on out there that everything must happen instantly.

It doesn't have to.

These expectations are very often a mirage.

And once you start questioning them, once you start asking, you know, asking your boss whether you need to stay three hours in the office after you've finished your work or asking if you need to reply to

I don't know, email from your mother-in-law within 30 seconds, you discover that often you don't.

That person never had that expectation in the first place.

So once you realize that the world isn't like that or you start taking steps or start asking people if they really need this as fast as you think they do, you begin to discover

that everyone else is in the same boat.

They're all thinking, oh no, I need to do this.

So you break the silence, you break the fourth wall.
