my phone has been on do not disturb since 2016
Work or family doesn't need to reach you urgently or do you have a separate work phone or something
I have one phone that I check every now and then to see if I missed anything. If anyone needs to reach me I'll see it when I see it and get back to them if it actually is important. Work doesnt need me if I'm off the clock. Also have notifications off on every app except my bank (and texts and calls) I have never feel more calm. Everything wants your attention these days
Not OP but same. I literally don’t remember my phone’s ringtone. Generally my phone is nearby and I check regularly for messages. Yes, calls and messages sometimes wait a few hours. I like it that way. I’ve never missed anything so important that I stopped silencing my phone and 99% of the communication I receive can wait till I’m ready to deal with it.
If it took me a few hours to reply at work I'd have very pissed off coworkers, not to mention how pissed off I would be if I was in the other end of it hah. I guess you're lucky in that things aren't as urgent.
