Hey, are you getting a little sick and tired of responding to every text message that you get?
Is your constant availability causing you a bit of fatigue?
Do you feel like you never get a moment of silence anymore where there's no text ding or phone call coming through?
We're constantly expected to be available.
Why?
Because we always have our phone in our pocket.
Everyone knows that we're all on our phone all the time, right?
Like 98% of us.
That's a fake percentage.
I'm so sorry.
98% of us, I would assume approximately, are on our phones all the time, have our phones in our pocket all the time.
It is very uncommon to meet someone who doesn't have their phone within 2ft of them at all times.
That is rare.
Even when we don't have our phone on us, we have our phone on us.
Like my computer, for example, has my text messages connected to it.
For those who have Apple watches, they could be on a run, but they'll still get a ding on their Apple Watch when they get a text.
You know what I mean?
Very few people are actually bad texters.
You know when somebody says, like, oh, my God, sorry, I never got back to you.
I'm a bad texter, by the way.
