[stylist] A question

[Jackie Williams]

Everyone,
I am faced daily with the problem of whether to answer e-mails by going way
back to the ones I previously skipped due to lack of time. Then at least
fifty new ones come in the next day. 
I had been going back, thinking I could catch up, but now I have this long
tail.
Then I tried to start from the top, but something is lost in the sequence.
The situation now, is that I skipped all the cinquains because they are dear
to my heart, and I want to read them in the sequence they came in.
How do all of you who want to read everything manage reading everything on
the list, make appropriate answers, and not avoid giving feedback.  Everyone
is entitled to this, but it almost seems an impossibility to me at times. 
I do jealously guard some writing time, and just the functions of living
alone take up much time, plus arranging rides and managing medical and
service calls.
I love all of you, if one can feel this in cyberspace.
Please share your strategies.
 
Jackie Lee
