You don't have to respond to all of your DMs. For some of you, this seems obvious, but for others, it's much harder to accept. You don't owe everyone your time. Especially if you feel like you're pulled in too many directions, one of the kindest things you could do to yourself is to get comfortable saying no, or for some of the noise in your inbox, not responding at all. Some of you don't yet realize how freeing this truly is. And I hope one day you do.
