I’m with Paris and Corey, I have almost all notifications turned off, my watch vibrates if one of my family sends me a Signal message and the phone rings if I am called, but those are the only notifications I get.
All apps are banned from sending notifications and even email is turned off, I get the red circle with a number at the top right of the icon, but that is the extent of the notifications.
Basically, email is not important and can be responded to when I have the time to deal with it. The same for 99% of messages. If it is important they will call…
I also use Inbox Zero, so my inbox is usually empty or just has a couple of undread or un-dealt-with emails. Since becoming head of IT, that has become more difficult, I currently have around 15 emails in my inbox that have been read, but the issue hasn’t been closed.
My private email (5 accounts - 2 private domains, iCloud, Hotmail and Googlemail) has 1 email in the inbox currently, the latest edition of the Autosave is for Wimps newsletter from Alistair Dabs, whose writing I have followed for nearly 3 decades.
I should post a note here that Paris has been negatively impacted by layoffs.
Damn, sorry to hear that. I hope she can find a new job quick! Best wishes to her and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that she is back on her feet quickly.
As @Leo was talking about Palintir this seems relevant.
