To use your example, if someone sends me a DM or email, but I'm having dinner with my wife or playing with my son, short of the world being on fire I am not going to respond. Expectations and priorities go hand in hand.

Outlining expectations is a key factor, but can also be damning. If she had DM'd me with "I need you to respond if you're interested by noon tomorrow," but I was off-line until 1 p.m. tomorrow, there's still a breakdown. It wasn't that I wasn't, it was that I wasn't aware. Good thoughts, though. Thanks for commenting. Great point. Outlining expectations is a key factor, but can also be damning.
