I am still very undecided on the subject of ‘just in time’ planning, the whole, “lets do something on Sunday, I’ll ring you” and then actually calling at the time you want to meet up, rather than ever pre-arranging anything.
While I also disagree with one of my friends, who cited this as his reason for ditching his mobile.
I think balance is necessary.
I refuse to be a slave to my technology. It is a tool, for me to use, I decided when and how and what for.
I see my phone going off a the machine shouting at me “i’m important, answer me NOW!”, and I take a second to think “do I wish to answer a call at the moment…”. If i’m talking to someone else, then usually I’ll just reject the call and ring back when things settle down.
