Eliminate all notifications from your phone with a 1-second 'empty' .mp3 I set this empty.mp3 as my notification (android) for emails, texts, applications, etc etc. The only thing that makes a sound in my phone is phone-calls and alarms. Eliminate the "top bar" notifications too. If you want to find out about emails, open the app. To find out about instant messages, open the app. For me this has been absolutely great. I don't have social media installed (reddit, facebook, twitter, etc), so that helps. Yet the phone doesn't "suck me into it". I hope somebody finds this useful!
