I disabled all of my notifications three weeks ago, and it’s been one of the greatest changes I’ve ever made. In addition to disabling the notifications for every single app on my phone, I reduced my social media presence to just the two I use most often and deleted all but one game. It has those obnoxious time refills to play andI will never pay to play it, so it keeps me from wasting hours mindlessly playing a game while maintaining an occasional source of fun or escape. Haven’t considered the designated cellphone areas before, maybe that’s my next step!
