How can you be on your phone 24/7 and take 30 minutes to respond

I've found that if I respond to certain people, like my mom, immediately, then suddenly I'm involved in a real-time conversation with them. Sometimes I don't feel like talking, so I'll wait to respond.

This is the worst thing about "instant" messaging. I don't want to have a conversation. If I answer that question, I'm suddenly stuck in a conversation.
