Put your phone in do not disturb mode forever
- plaidfuji 8y agoAm I the only person who just denies notifications from every app? The only time my phone buzzes or bings or lights up is for texts, calls and voicemail. And I'm still considering following this advice!
- kseistrup 8y agoMy phone is on silent 24×7 (with vibrations allowed for texts and calls, but not from emails), and on dnd from 10pm to 8am. I seriously consider putting it in dnd mode 24×7.
- leephillips 8y agoSame. I don't think it's that unusual. Airplane mode at night, too.
- some_account 8y agoMine is always in do not disturb. The only thing that makes noise is if someone calls me. I also don't use any "social" media really. I spend 10 mins here on HN every morning and night though.
- kseistrup 8y agoIt's a bit peculiar that an author who pimps dnd mode chooses a design with an animated line moving in your visual field.
- draw_down 8y agoThat’s not how it works at all, but congrats on finding a silly contrarian angle
- jeromebaek 8y agoDone this, also unfollowed every friend on Facebook. Never went back.
- RickS 8y agoMy phone has been this way for at least 2 years. probably closer to 4. It's mostly fantastic. Highly recommended. The sky does not fall. Did nothing to curb the addition, however. I still check incessantly. Just unprompted. Also, turn your read receipts on. It's a form of honesty that helps people form a realistic picture of what's going on with you (that sometimes you can see something, but don't have the time/energy/care to reply). I find this casual boundary to be healthy. It also pressures you to be more courteous to people where it counts (you can ignore this person, but they'll know. act accordingly)
- anotheryou 8y agoI do this too, only clients (but they learn), mom and girlfriend are sometimes mildly annoyed :)
