That's a big premise that I didn't know nor I believe it's true. Notifications are supposed to tell you when something happens, which is the opposite of saving you time.

- franciscop 10y agoNot so sure, half of the apps that notify me I would have never polled them (maps, dictionaries, studying apps). The other half are muted so I can poll them when I'm not in the middle of a focused task as that would break my concentration and I'd need a while to regain it. The only two I keep active and not blocked are slack and Inbox, both having low traffic for me, because I use them for important work-related stuff.
