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 use the youtube app/ social media to find videos I want watch, and then share them to Firefox so I can use extensions to block ad’s, listen to music with my screen locked, and use streaming sites that go “aaaaarhg”.
Jesus clear your notifications
Even better, just disable notifications for most apps.

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
Check out my tabs:
Did you know they eventually show the infinity symbol?
You scare me…
Wait that’s not like that for everyone?
Holy shit, I have 788 tabs open on my PC
Oh shoot! I thought I had only a few hundred tabs open but it turned out to be 4205 tabs open as of now.
Believable, I probrably would reach the same amount if it wasn’t a wordpress site I was working on (never gonna use wordpress again I hate CMS)
