forgot i adjusted my phone settings to have no text vibrations (or sounds) a while back—def recommend:
switch haptics off and turn off your ringer for messages—so you only see text notifications pop up. shock collar loosened.
now you gotta look for the notification. you’ll def miss something from someone at some point, but only by like 10 mins max if you’re like me and are always looking at your phone anyway ✌️

i only get notified for a) all calls and b) texts from my family
i set it 2 years ago when i had such a bad crush that going on my phone made me anxious. forgot to turn it off and it ended up being the best thing for my brain. i feel less on the hook. one day i think i want a flip phone
that being said it's important to turn it off occasionally like if your friend is going thru it or if there r any scenarios where u need to be more On the phone. u gotta know the line between being at peace and being unreachable

recently turned off (mostly) all immediate lockscreen notifications bc nothing is ever that important. only phone calls, facetimes, libby, and classpass allowed thru.
i also like to schedule notification summaries so my phone tells me just once a day what PI.FYI notifications i’ve collected or what the Pattern app predicts heading my way, astrologically speaking. it’s nice and doesn’t hold my attention for long.
pros: seeing texts pile up and feeling like most popular girl in the world, no twitchy reaction everytime phone lights up bc now i know its one of four things, incredible renewed ability to FOCUS on reading or drawing or literally anything else, not being pulled into depths of phone as much
cons: was trying to sell a chair and accidentally ignored this poor sweet girl for days, even on the nights she was free to pick up chair…like just forgot ab it… thankfully she just showed up and conversed w my roommate like olden times and i was hollered at while watching Love is Blind
i’m also switching to greyscale so it makes everything look boring. i need all the help i can get i’ll be so fr
this wretched device!!!!

you’re at a restaurant, getting up from your table to leave, and then you drink a last sip of water while standing, maybe even down a whole half glass—regularly doing this, can’t just leave water on the table before heading on out

love the combo of a red felt pen on a pink post-it... my go to combo for work note taking, listing to-dos, and doodling
