Agree with this. Best thing I ever did was remove all work related apps from my phone. That way I only checked email if I'm on the laptop. More advantages include: saving on your phone bills, storage on your phone, employers spying on you, and of course your sanity. Doing this, I found that most "urgent" emails were not really urgent.
Also if there is ever a lawsuit for whatever, the company has a right to seize your phone if there is company content on it.
- popotamonga 10y agoSame here, if it's really that urgent someone will eventually call.
- agumonkey 10y agoI like how old tech limitations acted as a natural weighting. Now with everything possible all the time we somehow loss an important source of information.
- ashark 10y agoI was just thinking about that the other day, as it relates to kids and TV. You definitely can still limit children's TV watching, but they're not dumb, and it takes more effort now that they know you could play an episode of their favorite show on Netflix any time you please than when your hands were tied by the broadcast schedule. "Sorry, you'll have to wait for next Saturday" was an easier sell when it was impossible for you to do anything about it (well, tape, but if you hadn't already recorded it there was nothing that could be done after the fact).
- agumonkey 10y agoI meant more about value attached to signals. Before if someone came to see you it meant they made some effort compares to a SMS. Now that everything is the same, lines are blurred and we feel overwhelmed.
- woogiewonka 10y agoThanks. Just removed Trello. Not sure why I was putting up with constant notifications while trying to take a crap.
