I totaly get what you say about notifications. I also get anoyed by beeping or buzzing which robs me of my focus. Here is how i handle it: I just set all my devices to be silent. I set things up such that I won’t even see the notifications. Periodically as I finish something, or need to take a brake I emerge from concentration and do a scan of my queued up notifications. And just then I answer them. I’m not a first responder. If someone is going to literally die unless they hear from me immediately they better call the emergency numbers anyway. Friends, family, coworkers all know and respect that they will get an answer but perhaps not immediately. In return when I get around it I make sure to respond in a usefull and thoughtfull way to the best of my abilities. People seems to be fine with it, and it prevents me from drowning in a constant barrage of pings.
