Motherboard editor Jason Koebler thinks you should turn off push notifications and boy, do I agree: I have had notifications turned off on everything except SMS, Twitter DMs and Signal messages for years, and I have trained all the people who can send me messages using those protocols that the only time to send me a message over them is when something is extremely time-sensitive. I check in on everything else (email, Twitter mentions, etc) several times a day, but I don’t have anything, on any of my devices, that interrupts me to tell me that someone, somewhere is thinking about me.
Your life will be better if you turn off push notifications (and all notifications)
