Why you actually should monitor your phone and or email

Some people today are tired of social media. So tired that there is an uptick in the sales of Blackberry’s or the old flip phones. No, this is not a Reddit post. It is in fact people who are tired of social media.

Notifications are making people reach for their cell phone at inopportune times. Think at the dinner table or late at night.

But here is why you should monitor your cell phone and your email.

In these times family members may try reach you at different times. Depending on which means of communication you have them then you must make sure you are reachable. A working number and email is they key.

If it is your cellular telephone, then make sure you have a code for those you need to be in touch with. Say M&D (momandordad) for the text or call. And give it a ring of its own.

If it is an email then make sure you test your email to ensure you get it coming in to your regular inbox and not into spam. You can set up your email to get an alert as well.

No matter which options you use just make sure the means of communication is open. And save your sanity and turn off the social media notifications
