This is only in your notes section, but “conversation-centric communication" is such a great phrase. Someone should make a “conversation-centric" social platform.

Yeah Thomas! It was meant to be in notes just because it was a bit of a diversion from the main theme. Maybe you'll incorporate this into your app?

Absolute gold: “Think about it: having every notification turned on is like leaving the front door of your house wide open. You’re letting anyone intrude on your day whenever they want.”

Loved this article. I’m perma on DND for these exact reasons. I’ll check my phone when I want to, not when it dings. Although I admittedly still pick up my phone far too often.

Thanks Jack!! It takes some serious training to not check the phone constantly. Always a work in progress but at least we’re aware of it :)

Thank you Anthony! That '9-1-1 emergencies bit used to say "important" before I learned about IKEA words!
