And not just work. Not that it isn't important, but in addition to work (my own business) I'm a caregiver for my father. I have very little free or down time.

And not just work. Not that it isn't important, but in addition to work (my own business) I'm a caregiver for my father. I have very little free or down time. If I don't minimize or cut out alerts I cannot make good use of that time. Alerts add to my cognitive overload and stress. The tighter I lock down my alerts (and inputs) the less stressed I am.
