Turn notifications on, don't check it until you get notifications?
- Aeolun 8y agoI turned notifications off exactly because I got a few hundred of them per day.
- coralreef 8y agoYou get hundreds of messages from friends?
- alex__c 8y agoNotifications have this huge downside that they disturb you from your work and from your leisure time, fragmenting attention to the point of being useless to yourself. This has long been decried by people like Cal Newport and others. Knowledge workers need their attention span intact, and yet all the modern tools make interruptions more likely. I've been in a Messenger group of only 5 people, who were trying to synchronize going to the movies. My phone kept bleeping for 5 damn hours, until they figured what to do. Absolutely disgusting.
