For this reason I refuse to take any actions that would mark a message as read until I’m confident I have time to reply to it.
Messaging apps need a “remind me later” feature, so I can mentally steel myself for what I have to do.
On Android, you can snooze any notifications for an hour or two, which is nice.
Huh, TIL - is there something I need to do to enable this? Or rather, how do I do it? Sounds like a game-changer.
A very real risk.
Make time to check them if it’s important or be clear that it’s a dead communication line if you can’t maintain it. As a fellow ADHDer I’ve had to back out of a few different platforms because I simply can’t allow myself to engage with them - if someone @s me on Facebook I’ll see it in six months to a decade… I do try and make sure my contacts all have good lines to me if they need to reach out, though.
