I'm not quite zero notifications, but I've never installed work e-mail/calendar/slack on my phone. Work notifications are slack direct DMs on my laptop/desktop only. And I sort of condition people to understand that I'm the person who gets things done and I might not respond to you immediately.
If you think you desperately need to be ADHD constantly helping people out immediately with every request they have and this is the way to get forward in your career, you might want to reconsider that. You turn into sort of the helpdesk guy. You can still be the person that does all the extraordinarily hard problems that nobody else can solve, and deliver on the big features, without being the person who is there for instantly answering questions 24/7. If you open yourself up to being ADHD constantly you'll probably never get anything done through being interrupted constantly and you may find yourself stuck at a lower technical level than you want to progress to. Although if you want a management job this is probably the path you want to take.
