I carry a phone with me at all times but I never have notifications on, not even for phone calls. It's a pull-only device. I do not at all share the author's anxieties because I treat my phone differently. On the odd occasion that I turn notifications back on (maybe I'm waiting for an important call or email) it drives me absolutely up the wall, I can definitely see where the author's anxieties come from.
