There is a middle ground, and understanding it requires detangling the nature of notifications by urgency and relevance: * urgent and relevant: enabled, show me this now. examples are: IM and phone calls and earthquake monitors * urgent and non-relevant: "sale ends in 5 mins!!" * non-urgent but relevant: "your package has been delivered to your mailbox". Use an app like Daywise to BATCH these notifications to arrive at X hour intervals, so you're only checking 24/x times a day * non-urgent non-relevant: disable all these
