Wow... interesting question! Lemme see...

• SMS

• Personal Email (account 1)

• Personal Email (account 2)

• Craigslist (email response, using CL's email shrouding function)

• Chat function in "Words With Friends" game app

• Chat function in "Pokerist" game app

• Work email 1

• Work email 2

• Slack (for work)

• Hubski

• Reddit

• Facebook

• online motorcyclist forum

• Comments in a GoogleDoc being edited simultaneously by 3 people

• Cell phone call

• Cell phone voicemail

• Face to Face (work, home, motorcycle buyer, mail man)

I think that might be it.

Does it ever get confusing. Do you miss messages? Does it matter? I bet a lot of people responding here miss a lot of stuff all the time.

Fortunately the Mac is VERY good at finding things. So if I do get confused, I simply type Command-Space Bar, and type in what I am looking for. The Mac then leads me right to it, even if it is buried in a PDF file 15 folders deep...

But generally, each of those communication media are used for different purposes. So I don't tend to get confused.
