Interruptions are evil. I'm lucky (I guess) in being oblivious and able to tune stuff out (as long as it doesn't make sound, steal focus). I didn't notice that g+ red box or knew what it meant for awhile. I used reddit for months before someone told me I had "replies" and I asked what he meant and he said the orange letter icon, means someone has replied to you. I said "oh", and carried on with whatever I was doing. Which brings me to the point of my comment. Not being distracted is a self-discipline. By letting yourself be distracted you are as much to blame as notifications.
