I love this thought process. I've gotten into the habit of only checking my email at work when I sign in and when I leave for the day.
I know you don't integrate with email because of some time critical messages, but I wonder if you could still integrate as an email/sms app and allow temporary overrides (kinda like how pihole let's you pause it for 5 minutes).
That'd be downright awesome

Thank you so much. > but I wonder if you could still integrate as an email/sms app and allow temporary overrides ... like how pihole let's you pause it for 5 minutes I'm leaning towards avoiding that sort of thing. Like how Gmail has a "snooze" or how Apple's Screen Time has timers that lock you out, etc. That stuff really stresses me out. I tried to make this as simple as possible and as "human" as possible, in the sense that the human experience—or cognitive processes, or biological cycles—plays out on the human timescale, which seems to be more like the day or week or year than minutes or hours.

- kwhitefoot 5y agoI'm retired now but for quite a few years I made it a habit to not open my email until lunch time. That way I could work all morning, my most energetic time of day, on things that had been discussed the day before without being distracted or having a bad conscience about not immediately acting on new requests. Anyone who needed my attention immediately could use the telephone and hardly anyone ever did.
- mlangenberg 5y agoThat is also my approach. It takes some courage to do, but makes for a much calmer workday.
