Emails are fine. If you are sending me an attachment or a notification, they're perfect. I will look through them quickly several times a day.

Texts are for communicating near-immediately with friends, family, and the occasional vendor who is asking if they can swing by or whatever.

I prefer both of the above simply for paper-trail purposes and convenience.

Phones are for nothing. I ditched my landline 5+ years ago. Phones ring and are demanding your attention right this second despite anything else you are doing. Phones tie me up so that I cannot continue to do or work on what I was before its incessant and annoying ring intruded on my idyll. I am forced to drop everything and attend to the caller that very second and I get to walk around my house doing so with only one hand. Can't cook, carry things, etc. for the 1, 2, 30, or 60 minutes a phone call can take.

Sorry - maybe it's my 80's Gen-X mid-50's self, but I hate telephones. Wanna get ahold of me? Send me a text. In a few minutes I will reply when it is convenient and I have finished what I am doing right that second.
