    Me watching the map on the doordash app when a delivery is coming because often times they do stupid shit.

    Just the other day, an uber driver went around the block in like three different ways so I walked out to the cross street and flagged them down.

    my strategy is to schedule calls early in the day to get them over with, or stay up super late the night before so i wake up an hour or so before the call. this has been awesome for my sleep schedule being unemployed and interviewing a lot lately…

    Does anyone actually have a working stratergy to pick up calls consistantly? I always have silent mode on (vibrate enabled) because I’m scared if I enable call sounds I will forget to turn it off when it really needs to be off.

    Most of the time I ignore the vibration.

      BTW, you can set a do not disturb schedule on your phone to automatically silence it. I even do location and consciousness-based routines for my phone. That way if I’m asleep or at work, my phone automatically silences itself, and then turns the ringer back on once I wake/leave work. Every modern phone has this capability.

      My strategy is to simply don’t. If it’s important, you can text or leave a voicemail.

      One benefit of never picking up the phone is that I never get spam calls ever.
