I send all my questions at 1pm and 5:30pm using a scheduled message ⏰
I send my questions together at 1pm and 5:30pm.
In Teams, I have made a scheduled message addressed to my senior.
Whenever a question comes to mind, I keep adding it there.
With questions at work, if you ask right away, it is surprisingly often not a big deal, and there are times when I can solve it myself in about 30 minutes.
At times like that, I feel a little sorry, wondering whether my senior is thinking “you should look up something like that yourself”.
But if I decide to put it off, by the time 2 or 3 hours have passed, I have already forgotten even what it was I did not understand.
So asking right away is not good, and putting it off is not good either. Both feel half-hearted, so in the end I decided to send them at fixed times, 1pm and 5:30pm.
That way I do not forget my questions, and I also get time to read them over once before I send them, so I feel like there are fewer nonsense questions too.
