Have you ever protected your peace so hard that you end up with no plans on a Saturday night? It happens to the best of us. Especially if you’re an introvert. Sometimes you set boundaries that are so good and solid that you wish for a little drama to come and shake things up. You set your phone on Do Not Disturb to tune out the haters until you realize you maybe had no haters to begin with. 

I’m a big fan of Do Not Disturb, though. I think it’s essential for keeping some semblance of a normal life. If we’re constantly interrupted by everything and anything, then it can be very difficult to go deep on anything. I’m a proponent of taking one hour of the day to manage your correspondence, and that’s it. Have I ever actually enacted that in my own life? No. I’m a victim of constant contact culture just like all of you.
