1. Days when I want to work and feel like talking to people so I keep it turned on and pay attention to every call and text.
2. Days when I kinda feel like working but don't feel like talking to people so I put it on silent mode and keep an eye on it but only respond if I feel like it.
3. Days when I don't want to work and don't feel like talking to people so I turn it off and ignore it.
I put the phone on silent mode and leave it another room when I'm working, and I turn it off every night at 7pm and ignore it until I wake up in the morning and check my messages.
Now you know all there is to know about my phone life.
I'm guilty of checking way too often when I'm bored. But, if I really need to concentrate on something for 'real life' work, I'll turn the phone off and make sure it's no where near me so I'm not tempted to get distracted. If I leave the house, and it's not for a date, I don't even bring my Ami phone with me.
