There's a reason that I rarely carry my tracking device out with me when I leave my house. Only when I head to another city. I don't see the need to, as it doesn't actually provide a lot of benefit, and it's fine to be without it for a few hours at a time. Sure, if I need mapping software it does - but the reality is that I want to have conversation with people at the times I want, not all the time. I also generally try and live notif free nowadays (clearly this ebbs and flows).

This works surprisingly effectively even with a family, purely by running a voip client on my desktop, and ensuring my mobile forwards to my voip line, meaning I can still receive calls as necessary from schools, daycares, etc.

It's an experiment I intend to only push further and further. Clearly also pull back, but a fun one.
