Why it works

Each alert costs time to refocus. Fewer interruptions means more finished work.

Start tiny, then build

Day 1

Turn off notifications for one app that pings most.

Day 21

Only calls and calendar alerts remain on; check messages on a schedule.

Stack it on something you already do

“When I install a new app, I will turn off its notifications.”

Tie the new habit to an action you never skip. The old habit becomes the reminder.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving badges on
  • Re-enabling for FOMO
