I've seen the feature but (wrongly) assumed no one uses it.

Traditionally we've been used to this 4 hour SLA but in the more relaxed world . . .

I have just bought myself a 2nd iToy. I'm going to try leaving work phone at work and my phone for my time and see if this hybrid solution works.

I think what's hard is when people have been used to instantaneous responses when you then don't its hard managing the new expectation. I'm also considering an enforced ban on email and phone use outside engineers work schedules so they can't use the device until maybe a couple of hours before and after their work hours.

These people who expect an instant response never reciprocate themselves.

Yep, 'I need this quote today' - ok, bet you won't book the job today, or even next week. or the month after.

Ain't that the case!

And there endeth the lesson. Lol

I used to have the email set to push on the phone, after a while I found myself sitting with the family and checking the phone a. Binned it off and manually connect now when I want. If I do reply to emails out of hours there's a good chance I'm having a **** when I do as it's the only time I will check them.

Just had a customer call at 06:50 this morning. Yet they wouldn't answer my returned call at 16:20 on Friday.

Matt, you need to teach yourself not loose the phone.

You have ifoneitis. I think your making the a good start my separating work and personal.

Have you seen the pomodoro technique

 

I couldn't do without my phone, but I don't let it run my life.

Use it to assist your life not notify you to death.

I think you might be right doctor beast.

I love my iPhone but hate it as much if that makes sense?
