A really good thing today: I can now not get work emails when I’m not at work.

iPhone. Focus mode: home. Geofenced and triggered when I am at home. When in this mode, activate Focus Profile in Outlook: Personal -> only receive notifications from my personal accounts.

Finally. 🤣

I like being kind to people, because it feels good. But in this age of contempt, where courtesy seems rare and social cohesion is fraying, being kind also feels like an act of rebellion.

Stick it to the man.
