Summary

Notifications can be overwhelming and distracting, but with Zapier, you can take control by setting up automatic workflows, known as Zaps, to streamline alerts from important apps. The first step is to purge your notifications by turning off every notification, then sketch out your daily app routine to identify which apps you use most and what actions you need alerts for. Next, create a list of specific actions or processes where you need alerts, prioritize ruthlessly, and decide on a single place to funnel all your notifications. You can also route alerts to one place, such as a team chat app, and adjust notification frequency using filters and digests. Additionally, Zapier offers features like Zapier Manager to help you stay on top of your Zaps and adjust notifications accordingly. By implementing these strategies, you can reduce distractions, increase productivity, and achieve inner peace.
