You're welcome, @donkeypong! Yes, when requesting deliverables from others I've learned it's best to set an expectation of when I expect to receive whatever it is. The key, I've learned, is to not make expectation open-ended. For example, if you need an answer on something you can say, "I'm looking forward to your response within the next couple of days." Even something subtle like this can work in communication. Thanks for reading!

Making something time sensitive is important. I've noticed when setting personal goals, they are much more likely to be achieved when setting a specific time frame.

You're absolutely correct, @shenanigator! These days we must prioritize everything and if a task doesn't have a priority or value assigned to it it gets easily swept aside.
