On the same page in terms of checking emails frequently, but not necessarily responding immediately so that I can formulate a more complete response / address it fully when I have the time. That being said, what are your thoughts when someone takes a little too long to respond? Do you actively notice when people take longer than anticipated?

Oh yes. Some things I know take time, but if I don't hear back in a day or so I start getting antsy :). But I dislike being a pest, so I set a reminder for myself to follow-up after what feels like reasonable amount of time, and try to phrase my follow-up in way that doesn't come off as "Hurry up!"
