I still feel sending a message for 'if we can have a quick call' is still similar to being out the blue. I feel like I'm putting pressure on someone at this time.

Maybe it's just me/my personality.

If i got a message like that:

- I either wouldn't see it because I'm involved in something out and messages are not priority interrupts. (i.e. I don't have notifications turned on.)

- Or, if I see it but now isn't a good time, I'll reply something like sure but right now is a bit crazy. Call my cell at xPM. (Or I'll drop something on your calendar.)

It is nothing like the imposition of requiring them to commute to an office to be interrupted at will.

At this point I'd say disable notifications and check messages every 45 minutes once you're out of flow.
