@abadesi true, I usually pay more attention to push notifications when I'm not on my computer. I also avoid smartwatch due to push notifications.
@abishekhkc I turned off my Instagram ones pretty quickly because they were distracting... do you ever find it stressful/annoying?
@abadesi I have muted almost everyone. Only i follow my favourites. and push notifications turned on for them. Instagram push notifications are really annoying one. There's no need to waste our time just looking at someone's icecream pic. 😄
Push alert for some useful apps and some ones that I don't use. If I receive notifications from an app that I do not need, I disable notifications for it.
@abadesi Yes I have on my notification all the time, all the apps and it is not even distracting me
@abadesi I hope sometime you'll also ask if anyone allows push notifications from their browser...I'm so curious!
@zaheerbaloch thanks for sharing. Twitter always prompts me to turn on notifications but don't. It's usually open in one of my many browser tabs anyway.
All chat apps except Slack (Messages, WhatsApp, Hangout, Messenger, Intercom), a couple business apps (Stripe, Parcel, Qonto) and (shameless plug) my meatless meals tracker (No Meat Today - check my profile for beta access). Everything else is muted.
Everything messenger related I used push notifications. I like to answer my texts and emails quickly (unless I'm in a concentrated work sprint or spending time with friends and family)
WhatsApp and Instagram for the most part. I usually tend to ignore notifications from other apps.
I've disabled almost all push notifications.
BTW, there is a Gmail hack: if you're afraid of missing emails from important people, you can create a custom label+filter and choose to only receive notifications for emails that trigger this filter. This way you won't be distracted with all the newsletters but will still get a notification when your mom emails you.
