I have notifications active, but notification sound default to none. For apps I want a sound reminder (calendar and pm in chat apps), I set another sound.
Nope. I got the ADHD. I need the robot to remind me about things. It’d make some of you sick how many notifications I get. I have notifications turned on for every channel in two Discord servers. Traffic on them is usually slow to modest, but still. Lemmy is the only platform I use daily that isn’t allowed any notifications because I’ve been using forums for about twenty years and don’t often forget to check in here.
It’s all personal preference but I’d go crazy if I had email notifications on. If it’s urgent and I want you to have instant access to me you should be able to text me. Otherwise, email is something I look at at beginning or end of day. Same for work. It’s well documented at this point how destructive interruptions and distractions are to reaching deeper levels of thought, engagement and productivity…and that is not restricted to the work world.
Yeah I have three emails - business (self employed, always on), personal (always notify but no sound), Hotmail (orders and spam, fuck off don’t notify)
My dad has all YouTube notifications turned on for every channel he follows. He also has the sound on max at all hours of the day. I’ve asked if he wants help turning them off and he told me he likes it that way, so I’m pretty sure he’s a psychopath.
Not plants per se, but we had a problem with one of our cats jumping up in the kitchen counter. So we put a few coins in a coke can and then shook it furiously every time he jumped up. You have to watch them for a while, but it doesn’t take long for them to learn.
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
