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.
It should be on by default. Any time a notification pops up at the top of your screen, there should be a little clock icon that snoozes (default is 1hr, but there's a drop down)
I'm on base android. I don't know if that makes a difference.
I didn't know this either, but I can't find it in the pull-down menu. Is this just on the lock screen or am I missing something?
It's on the notification itself, not specifically on the lock screen.
Here, I just got a weather notification, and this is in the bottom right corner of it:
Huh, there's a "mute" option for me there, and when I select it, it takes me to the app and I can temporarily mute contacts (but no snooze/reminder).
it may also look like the YouTube bell, not every app supports it though, usually it's only apps that give you an ability to do something, but it's not accessed by hold pressing it, you click the little arrow to the right of the notice and then it appears
Weird. Maybe it's one of those things that they try out early on certain devices, but I've been using it for a while.
This just leads me to have them unread forever.
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.
And anxiety because my phone is telling me there's some incomplete task!
