What are your email practices?

I am not always consistent, but here are my goals:

• Not checking email first thing in the morning

• Not checking email on Sundays (at least not until the evening)

• Taking one sustained break from email each summer (for at least a week)

I am also working actively to take longer to respond to your messages.

Do you talk with journalists?

Yes, if it’s in my area of expertise. WashU has helpfully compiled some of my past media engagement here.

Are you on social media?

You can follow me on Twitter or Threads at @JohnInazu, though I am not very active on either.

I joined Facebook in 2022 to share my newsletter with the Facebook crowd but I don’t post much there. Also, most of the old friends I tried to reconnect with on Facebook thought my friend request was some phishing scam, because what Gen Xer joins Facebook in 2022?

I am also on Instagram @john.inazu
