honestly it's getting harder every year but I'm closer to doing it anyway every year too lmao
I've come to resent the idea that I should always be available for anyone to reach me and that not replying promptly is some sort of slap in the face and totally unacceptable
rn I'm running a pinephone pro, and I'm basically down to phone calls (which I rarely get or answer) emails and signal messages, and I now set my phone down and don't look at it for hours at a a time way more than I used to, so even those are less prompt. sms to my personal number go via email so theres a lag to it and I'm kinda treating that as a feature not a bug. I'm comfortable getting around with no phone or dead phone way more than I used to be, as long as I have my transit pass and a watch I feel fairly secure
