How do you handle notification fatigue?

The only apps on my phone that are able to send me notifications are the Phone and Calendar apps. Means I decide when to check my phone for new emails/messages etc – highly recommend

Folders and filters. If used correctly, these 2 things will make your inbox clean

unsubscribe or block every unwanted email as and when they come. And star the one's that are important, so you don't take time to reply those. Email is still fine, I receive about *100 promotional SMS every day* (no exaggeration) and there is no way I can stop those. Any solution for that? Im using an iOS device.

Riddle me this, Batman. What percentage of notifications fall into the "must absolutely respond now" category. I think you will find that people can wait until your "email office hours" are in session. Let them know when this response window is open and then _release your mind_.

Turn off your phone and put it in a drawer while you're in deep work time. I know it's extreme but your focused attention is one of the most important assets you have and needs to be protected.
