My divesting of notifications was an accident. A botched iOS upgrade turned off all my notifications. It took me days to realize I was never getting alerts for emails, Facebook, etc. At that point I made the conscious decision that I didn’t miss them and kept them off on nearly every app, with the exception of a few that aren’t noisy and I enjoy getting. This had caused me to check my phone much less frequently and not feel the need to instantly respond. I have good self control, so spending too much time on Fb was never an issue for me. This has caused me to primarily use my phone for utility or at least consciously for time killing. But I spend far less time on my phone and no longer crave those dopamine notifications.
