The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back (www.theguardian.com)

Am I the only one that just ignores calls and texts that I don't want to respond to immediately or ever? I never have my ring volume up and I've muted almost all of my group chats, so only individual messages get through. My Pixel also does call screening which blocks a lot of trash from getting to me, and I keep space in my VM for when I have important calls get through that I either can't or don't want to answer.

Ignoring a text that "I can answer later" is actually what hits me with most cognitive charge :

My current balance is :

  1. To never give notification permission except when it is necessary for the core goal of the application.
  2. Automatically enable do not disturb from 11pm until alarm clock.

You have a GOOGLE phone?!?! Does it notify ICE when you’re near an immigrant? JK

Google hardware is actually solid. Just don't run Google software.

Yes, me too. My phone is always silent and with Do Not Disturb on. Only few family contacts can get through, and only with a phone call.

I don't even know what's the sound of the notifications of my phone. It's blissful.
