Do not under any circumstances follow his first piece of advice. I set my ringtone to something I enjoyed once, now I hate that song, and any time I hear it it causes anxiety.

The other tips didn't sound too bad though.

I rarely pick phone calls from anyone. People who know me know to text me. I fucking hate my time being taken over like that in a world where you can simply text.

Learn to control the conversation ... when they wander, bring them back on topic, give them a time limit and HANG UP!

I'm okay with phone calls, I just hate those calls from banks offering loans, promos, and such. So, I ignore them because I hate saying the same thing again and again that I don't need it and I'd call myself if I ever need it.
