You get a notification beep from emails? How about just turning that off? If anyone really needs to reach you they can just call you, no?

- smcl 9y agoI get a vibrate notification. And you are right that there are steps I can take to stop this if this became truly disruptive. However it is a mere annoyance, but annoying enough that I think "seriously, fuck off!" if it happens which presumably is NOT the sort of engagement they are looking for :-)
- yawaramin 9y agoI mean turn it off fully at night, actually. Notifications are a psychological hack–our brains get a little endorphin rush off seeing or hearing them, which makes us want more. They don't serve any actually useful purpose, though. You could stand to not know about new emails, Twitter and Facebook replies, etc., until the morning. If it's an emergency anyone you care about can already reach you by phone. App notifications are just programming you to be psychologically dependent on them. You can break free of the programming.
