Of course I do the same with messaging.
I must admit that I get away with this because my wife gets the important stuff. I've been retired for eight years and even the head hunters have mostly stopped bothering me. I just opened my email engine a couple of days ago, to look for a receipt emailed from Home Depot, no problem.
Email is only a tool, and should not be a liability or a burden. I also got this way from being a 40 year telecommunications technician, retired from Verizon after 31 years.
Electrons are not God. They pass through wires with little resistance. Don't let them rule you.
Hey, remember the bill signed into law, the “Do Not Call List”? Kinda ignored huh? It used to be something the government enforced with teeth. Now they are more concerned about pronouns and Donald Trumps return to office.
