>I’ve still had to work on my self-discipline, so that I don’t spend all my time checking my phone to see what I’ve missed. This is, arguably, the hardest part – the lure of a potential unread message can be profound
Yep, you can either poll, or you can respond to interrupts.
Me, my phone is usually not on DND but it's always on silent. I turn off notifications for everything except messaging apps. Most apps end abusing them sooner or later to send you marketing nonsense, or "you haven't used me in a while, I'm lonely" crap.
I'm amazed anyone can get anything done with noisy/vibratey notifications.
- hiisukun 2y agoI'd love for a half half solution here. Where the phone collects notifications silently for an hour, then if there are any meeting the "alert" bar, it just buzzes or tones on the hour. Or whatever interval I choose. I think a few times a day is plenty for my notifications, except for a couple of close friends and family -- but they're all in the same bucket. An app I installed yesterday who's messages I need but are not urgent, and a lifelong friend? Same value to the phone OS. I'm thankful for the star contacts on Android working through dnd, but would love an aggregate/timed system for bulk stuff.
