Do you feel obligated to pick up the phone every time it rings, answer the door every time someone knocks, or immediately reply to every text you receive?
My wife runs to pick up the phone every time it rings, even if we're eating dinner, getting ready to shower, etc. I'm like "that's what the answering machine is for. If it's important they'll call back or leave a message." Thankfully I have a variety of filters on our home phone so we rarely get junk calls.
Similarly, if someone knocks on the door, my wife jumps up to see who it is. But if I'm sitting around in my pajamas, or they knock after I've gone to bed, I just ignore them. And after dark, I just don't trust opening the door. Unless they're banging on the door and yelling for help, it's just not that important.
My wife also keeps her cell phone by her side at all times, immediately picking it up and responding to any text message that she receives whether we're eating dinner, watching a movie, etc. To me the whole point of text and email is you can respond when it's convenient. Otherwise you could have just called... At a convenient time.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't feel obligated to respond just because someone happens to call, text, or knock on our door.
