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
I mean sometimes at work or in life there's something urgent. Outside of work I don't have to be immediately reachable but at work I really don't have that option because things wouldn't go anywhere not being able to reach others by phone.
That's true, I guess it does depend on your situation. 99% of the time for me I don't need to be reach immediately.
