  This is my problem with working in tech. Not only do apps/sites have access to so much of your data to line their pockets with ad dollars, but you get hooked to them. Very few of my apps are allowed to run without wifi (I was racking up bills!) and even less of them permissioned to send pop up messages to me. Everyone thinks we're all immediately accessible which drives me nuts... I've got other things going on other than checking messages and keeping up so as to avoid FOMO.
