Are you fully satisfied with your setup or are there gaps?

  I am. However, there are times where I feel a slight guilt not responding right away and I still catch myself reaching for my phone thinking there has to be some notifications to check.

    iOS now has scheduled notification summaries that you can receive at specific times, while allowing critical notifications to appear immediately

      Oh wow, I did not know - thank you.

    I am also. iPhone and Slack give me the tools to suppress the noise, but still catch the signal. If I could ask for one thing, it’d be an easier way to toggle Silence Unknown Callers (which is in the anti-spam category, not quite what the article is focused on). I’m old enough to have been a heavy AIM user back in the day. I don’t want to toggle on/off my “readiness for chat”, nor do I want to consider my recipient’s readiness for chat (aside from time of day sensitivity). I prefer today’s tools that put the onus on the recipient to configure their notifications suitably (hint: if in doubt, just turn the notifications off, and poll manually on an appropriate longish interval). If a human complains about your slowness to respond, that’s a social norms problem, not a problem with the tools.
