    Let me give you my perspective and the reason I turn them on.

    It builds accountability. I want to be a timely replier of texts, but sometimes I fail. Even worse, sometimes I open it and forget to reply at all. This forces me to leave them unread until I’m ready to address them. I know the sender will see that I have read them, so it incentivizes me to manage my texting better.

    I think for me it’s about focusing on what I can control and influence. I can do very little about the horrors of the world, but I can make my community better, I can make my friends and families lives better, and then it’s a net positive impact I’m leaving on the world.

    Is that enough? I dunno, but for my own sanity it needs to be enough for right now.
