    He had a rigid schedule, text length, call, and dates routine he planned in advance.

    That sounds like something I’d do, just for a different reason. I don’t know good limits, so I’d try to find a proper functional balance and then try to stick to it in a manner of “Don’t touch it if it works” in attempt to make sure I am not doing too much or too little.

    Especially with texts and calls.
    Calls I usually try to end ASAP. I can’t think fast enough, and usually people don’t follow my pre-planned scripts, and buying time with “Sorry, could you repeat that?” gets awkward when you do it 5+ times in a row following each sentence. Furthermore it gets worse when I actually don’t understand what was said.

    On the other hand, my texts can grow long and boring, often getting off-topic too. So I should have some limit to try to fit into. And perhaps some time limit too, because my brain can get far off topic too. I mean, it can start with me verifying some information to make sure I am not spreading false info, then I notice something else, and before you know it, I am upgrading the version of NGINX, re-compiling fancyindex and updating the module version in nginx.conf before finishing let’s say a text about my disappointment on food handling practices at work.
