I wouldn't follow this advice when it comes to clients or other developers. But I intentionally postpone stuff like this when it comes to pretty much everyone else. I read it, evaluate if it's critical and then I'll either take an action, or postpone it (usually replying I'll deal with it the next morning).

Some people tend to ask as a last resort, others do it before trying literally anything else. Well, at least they used to back when I was failing to prioritize my work. Now some of them can figure out the problem on their own pretty fast, because they were forced to learn and become more understanding of the system.
