Been on DND 3 years straight.
Whatβs is that ?
I turned of notifications on my phone two years ago, never looked back.
The first thing I do with any app is disable notifications.
The only notifications allowed are texts and calls. Everything else is a distraction
I thought everyone had figured that out by now that disabling all notifications (desktop/laptop/phone/watch) is like the abc in productivity
OR just donβt allow apps to send notifications, then only important one can disturb me
But I'm "working" from home.
Unpopular opinion:
Lifehack: Buy a feature phone and use that instead of a smartphone.
A smartphone doesnβt add anything positive to your life. Honestly.
Is it possible these days to live without either?
My smartphone benefits over a feature phone:
1: Messaging groups with friends through various apps.
2: GPS guidance while driving.
3: Built in phonebook / addressbook of local businesses.
4: Email access anywhere, useful to access tickets to events or return codes / receipts when needed.
5: High Quality camera always available.
6: Access to NOSTR.
7: Able to pay businesses with a lightning wallet.
8: Able to do personal banking on the go. Quickly check balances, do transfers, and make payments.
9: Access streaming music/videos anywhere.
And more I'm sure that I'm not thinking of. For me, a smartphone is much more useful than a feature phone. But I do think I'll implement the do not disturb mode.
necessary life hack
Absolutely; way ahead of ya! These are supposed to be TOOLS, not your personal assistant or your supervisor. I pick that shit up when I'm good and f'n ready.

My phone is on do not disturb mode since I have it. It works wonders
What a great idea!!
did that years ago. Additionally, use as few apps as possible and prohibit every app from sending any notifications.
