once_a_day_dee Opened it #1
Two months ago I turned off every notification. No badges, no sounds, nothing on the lock screen. The only way I find out anybody has messaged me is by opening it deliberately, which I now do once in the evening.
Expected to feel out of the loop. Instead the whole thing got calmer. I am not checking at traffic lights. I am not doing the thing where you reply with three words because you are halfway through something else.
Fewer conversations, noticeably longer ones, and two people I would probably have lost to a distracted answer at eight in the morning.
Anyone else run it this way? Or does going quiet cost you the people who wanted a quick back and forth?
