I get notifications, but generally don’t read them until I’m taking a break, maybe 4 times a day. No one has complained. If they did, I’d tell them to call me if it’s an emergency. I’m guessing about half would never make a phone call if they could help it, so it’s a good bluff. Also I don’t mind receiving phone calls.
A teacher told us what he thought was a funny story about his wife, who was on track to julliard or something playing piano as a kid, and then he bought her a nice piano when they were married and she discovered she couldn’t play anymore and basically never played again --they’re in their 60s now. I just felt so awful for her. You need good friends to help you over something like that.
