I'm constantly in real-time communication but analyze: should I go async? Map synchronous communication time: meetings, calls, instant message conversations. Calculate: if I shifted to async (email, recorded videos, written updates), what time is saved? Show me the async advantage: everyone works at their optimal time, no scheduling coordination. Give me the async protocol: use these async tools, eliminate these sync meetings. Include: what communication should be async, how to shift without seeming unresponsive, and whether real-time requirement is mostly false.
