Let's make low time preference replying (not always replying immediately) great again.

You can reply from a place of awareness you get over time and not reactively, prioritizing what really matters to you.

Also, many things tend to be solved by themselves over time :)

But since we expect nowadays to get immediate responses, it's great (for education and respect) to tell we're taking some more time because we care for that, or because we have other priorities

I used to feel bad if i didn't respond immediately, but a friend of mine convinced me i don't have to. Lowkey increased the quality of my life. Same with not always checking the phone when it rings

You get to set other people's expectations around your response times.

Every person responds in their own time when they're ready.

When I send someone a DM, I have no expectation that they'll even get back to me. I assume that they will eventually but I have no expectation of it.

Never apologise for not getting back to someone sooner.
