Its the first year we did it....but it did help pass those 12, sometimes freezing hours.


I also use it in another way.
If I'm negotiating with a potential client, I'll tell the wife to text a couple of times between 10 and 10:30....something like that. The phone buzzing gives the air of your services being "in demand". Sometimes, its overkill, because it is buzzing....but I really do notice a reaction that seems positive.

A text is also an effective way to getting out of something, politely.

You're having a meeting with someone you don't want to get stuck with for an extended time...."text me around 9:30".....bzzz bzz bzzzz

"sorry, Hercules, something's come up and I have to go put out a fire"

"Ok man, see you later."

"later"
