I turned off notifications for everything but my school email and the app my mom uses to message me, because she's disabled and I'm her caregiver. I don't have work outside of that, so literally anyone else messaging or calling can wait until I am ready to check my messages or notifications. I went from constantly stressed over some bullshit to rarely thinking about that shit anymore. It's been amazing.
This is one of the things that routinely baffles me about people. They'll be like "I have too many notifications" and I'll be like "so turn some off" and they'll be like "no"
I pretty much only have text messages from people I know, work chat during working hours, and matches on dating apps (don't get me started on how people self sabotage on dating apps). It's fine.
Same. When I've told people how I turned my notifications off, their faces sometimes go white like I just admitted to being a secret serial killer or violated some major tenet of their religion or something.
I'm like, girl, trust me, God isn't going to hit you up through insta or the app from your local gas station chain. You'll be alright.
I work in a space that i cant have my phone. After a full day work, i come out and have 50+ notifications. Notifications mean nothing to me anymore
