People with ADHD may find this trick particularly helpful. But it's useful for anyone who has a hard time responding to messages.
Responding to text messages appears to be a simple task for most people. But for me, it always feels like a struggle to stay on top of these conversations.
In theory, I could just dash off a reply when I first see the message, check it off my mental to-do list and move on with my day. In practice, though, that rarely happens. Either I’m trying to stay focused on whatever I’m doing at the moment — work, chores, playtime with my kid — and I don’t want to switch gears, or I don’t have the mental or emotional bandwidth to craft a good reply, especially if the response requires more thought or care.
Last year, I discovered an iPhone feature that’s been super helpful to me in this department: You can pin your text conversations to the top of your Messages screen. So when I receive a text that I can’t or don’t want to reply to right away, I pin the convo to help me remember who I need to respond to later. Once I reply, typically at the end of the day, I unpin it and the conversation returns to the regular list.
