That's the first thing I do when I get a new phone: set up mail and usual apps, disable notifications for most, notify every 4 hours for mail & others, though I usually leave instant messaging run regularly. Also my phone is most of the time in do not disturb, only calls go through.
At the beginning I kept checking, but eventually the need dies off, at least in my case. Anything actually important will be a call.
- avgDev 8y agoNever really thought about this....but this would really increase my productivity. I get super annoyed when my wife keeps messaging me at work for example, but I also respond all the time. Disabling notification for few hours at a time is a great idea. I will give it a shot.
- wayne_skylar 8y agoI do the same thing. Calls go through as normal and messages get checked when I feel like it. There have been a few occasions when I miss out on something or whatever but it's way better my phone dictating when I give it attention rather than the other way around.
