I also have all notifications disabled, except the ones I really need (texts, calls, calendar, email and others like this). I don’t like that every time I look at my phone to have tens or hundreds of notifications that I am not interested in, I want to have only what I need to see.
I know I want some of them and I don’t have infinite apps, so whichever one’s irritate me after a few notifications I long press and disable that notification.
After a few weeks or so you just get the notification you care about
I have all notifications turned off except the following:
Texts, calls, and calendar events are the only things that can make sound or vibrate.
Discord, Snapchat, and OneDrive* pop up but they’re silent. (*I have like 100k pictures going back 20+ years and like seeing the On This Day galleries)
It’s a bit off-side, but another sad part of this quote is that it actually sounds reasonable in the original context:
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
Marilyn Monroe went out of her way to list what she considered her “worst”, that is in direct contradiction with the “best” (that everyone could see) from her public persona. She’s saying “Here’s my worst; you know my best. If you don’t accept me for who I am, you don’t deserve that sex symbol that I built”.
It’s a fair cry from how people often use this quote, where they justify making your life a living Hell under the promise of some “best” that you’re never going to see.
The best thing I found is a product called SSSCAT. It is basically canned air with a motion sensor on it. When your cat gets near it, it lets out a small burst of air. I bought one a few years ago to keep our cat away from the Christmas tree.
Now if there is something I want to keep the cat away from, I just place it there for a few days. After that she’ll tend to leave it alone for a long while. She is obsessed with chewing on cords, so I just move it around the house anywhere there are cords she can get to. 90% of the time I don’t even need to turn it on. Just seeing the can keeps her away.
Usually about 10-30. It depends. I have a minimum of 6010 tabs open for stuff I check several times a day, like mail, news feeds, and such. Then I have a few working projects, like Google docs. Then some “temporary tabs” that expand from 10 to 30, as a reminder of tasks I have to complete or get back to someone on, only to shrink them down later in the day.
I usually have a minimum of 8 tabs open, but right now it’s something like 24. I’ve recently gotten into a bad habit of opening tabs & not getting around to them until maybe a week or two, maybe sometimes more. I really need to sort out my tab game & start being more productive…
A few hundred. At the end of a “project/idea/thing” I’ll bookmark the entire set, dated, described, and close them all at once, things always come back in need later. It’s very satisfying.
For normal day to day browsing I have a window with about 15 pinned tabs that I just cycle through in the morning catching up on stuff and then close that window.
