I did a self assessment on my use of “I will call you back”. I found that I say it more often, to those that care the most. Those that i know will cut me some slack. Those that I know will forgive me, if I forget to call back.
I do not say “I will call you back” to those that bring needless anxiety and who feel entitled to talk to me whenever it is convenient for them.
I have decided to treat those that care as a greater priority. No matter what I am doing, I will have a chat to know why those that care have called. If I am busy, I will explain only after hearing them out.
I will no longer end any call from those that care with “I will call you back”. I will end it with “Thank you for calling. It means the world to me”. Because it really means the world to me.
