Except some things are.

#3I turn off all notifications except SMS and phone calls and mute all whatsapp contacts and groups except for my direct family.
I have a zero inbox policy on my email and everything in my calendar must be marked complete for the day otherwise it moves along.

#4Is this a really problem? It's vanishingly rare in my experience to here a phone ring these days. Rude people intentionally playing music or other media without headphones is a much larger but still rare phenomenon.

#5That's funny, in my family we have a policy of always calling twice because you often miss it by a second. This rule prevents that the callee tries to call back and you get this mismatch "number busy" (how have we still not figured out how to connect two people that are literally calling each other?). Works great for us. Please, call me twice!
The decline button I use for when I can't talk right now but heard you. If you then call again, I will assume something happened. I like being reachable for those that have my number. So far, nobody has abused it
I receive a phone call unexpectedly maybe once a month, so it's unlikely that anyone is bothered by a buzzing phone for 1-2x 25 seconds. I don't need it to be on "do not dare disturb me" all the time...

#6I agree about 99% with this (I do have some numbers on a very short list that will absolutely raise as much noise as possible) but I think things like "silent notifications" and "vibra by default" will go against some people's KPIs. So there's nothing we can do about it since we all know KPIs are the only truth (TM)

If they're that urgent, your process is poorly designed.

> Is this a really problem?
No it is not for a normal well adjusted person.

#9> The ideal solution should be a mandate to ban all loud phone sounds in public.
Loud breathing is still ok?
Really weird hill to die on.

But when everything is urgent, nothing is.
