Turning off Gmail notifications on my phone was the best thing I ever did for my stress levels.
Honestly, when you think about it, if it's over email, it's not a "real" emergency. Someone in a real emergency would just call.
- oxplot 11y agoI too turned off notifications on gmail a long time ago. However, I've setup some filters looking for words like "urgent", "emergency", etc without telling people that I have. They're all labeled accordingly and that specific label makes a noise on my phone. It seems to work pretty good so far.
- daigoba66 11y agoDitto. I turned off virtually all notifications on my phone. Only phone calls and text messages get through (which for me is quite rare). I realized that almost nothing on my phone is important enough to interrupt me whenever.
