precisely My phone lives on DND. Only priority numbers get through on text.

I check it every two hours, on odd numbered hours.

If you text me expecting a response, and you aren't in my priority pool, I'll get back to you. After all, it is my phone, not yours.

My work slack is only available during my work day. Out of hours, it is closed.

I can remember when I was younger my mom getting pissed when the phone (landline) would ring and thinking jeez, chill out! Some years later I'm doing something trying to concentrate and I get like 20 dings in a row on some group text message and I almost toss my phone into the wall lol. Mostly only priority stuff gets through these days. Every now and then my sister will hit me with a rapid-fire 10 ding (one per sentence) message but thanks to the nuclear option silent mode switch I can usually shut that shit down by about the 3rd ding. What sucks though is I sometimes forget to unsilence it for days. Maybe that's an upside though.
