Overwhelmed? Turn off your notifications.

Turning off notifications can have numerous benefits, including reducing distractions, allowing for actual focus blocks, prioritizing what matters, and rediscovering natural rhythms. By deciding which notifications are critical, setting them up, and then turning off notifications on every device, individuals can take control of their digital lives and reduce the constant stream of alerts that can be overwhelming. The process may require some time to adjust, but observing feelings and making adjustments based on notes can lead to a more effective notification system. Maintaining the newfound peace requires discipline, but it's easier than maintaining order in general.
