I agree, but I have a problem I don’t know how to overcome. Maybe someone here has an idea.
I’m ADHD as fuck.
It’s the inattentive type and it cuts both ways. It’s not uncommon for me to turn on my phone and get distracted from what I had intended to do by notifications. On the flip side, if I don’t have notifications to let me know to check something, I may just forget the app exists entirely. If it’s something important, that’s not great.
My default is all apps on silent notifications. Can’t see em until you pull down the shade (Android). Then give very very few applications access to normal notifications. Then you will check them all only when you check the normal. This still requires some level of willpower but it def helps.

Anyone have any ideas?
Focus mode.
I use it during “work hours”. You can take a break for a set amount of time, but it will lock you out again after.
turn off notifications for everything except direct messages to you.
