At the moment I get a new notification I decide if it’s useful. If it isn’t, the category gets turned off.
My bar for apps is also extremely high. I don’t get the notifications if the app isn’t installed.
I think that’s the intended way to use notifications. If it is there sitting in your status bar it should be because you need to be reminded to do something about it.
Otherwise it’s the equivalent of leaving your mail strewn on your dinner table permanently, junk mail and all.
I am starting to uninstall all apps that have websites anyways… not everything needs to be an app
Notifications are bad, but the constant dopamine stimulation of having 24/7 access to stuff like Facebook and TikTok is also bad without notifications.
That’s why free will is not enough. You need to set yourself limits or completely uninstall distracting apps. You can get used to it
Preach. Nothing on my phone is allowed to show me notifications except emails to my main address (which are likely to actually be important and not spam), calls, texts, and a select few Discord channels.
Everyone and everything else can fuck off until I get around to them, which includes my work email inbox.
I am continually disgusted by then number of apps that are not communications related insist on trying to push notifications into your stack all the time. Especially mobile games. That shit can fuck right off.
