How do you handle notification fatigue?

Best solution I found is immediately organizing my emails into folders. Even if I cant get to them right away, at least I know how my unread emails are organized....it is less overwhelming than pages of unread emails listed in one spot in your inbox!

I turn them off completely phone & computer in order to focus on what I'm doing. Otherwise notifications is just distracting all day long. There is a time to check email and social media and there is a time to do something more valuable.

Use a tool like Memo that respects your focus and does not notify you or use the evil red dot to spike your attention. https://sendmemo.app/mission I am hell bent on getting back notification control, it ruined me a while back. I'd love to talk to you more about this.

I feel you. I just leave them unopened and I just set a time to look a them (generally early in the morning and after lunch break).

just turn off all notifications including your emails and just enable ONE messaging app for work. Try It and let me know! It worked for me :)

I turn off all notifications while I work and then check them all at once periodically.

I know what you mean. If you can, try to block time to look at your email and only check them at that time. Communicate this with your team and let them know how they can reach you in case of emergencies. I turn off all notifications of non-essential apps (all except Whatsapp and sms)

At first, I'd promise myself i'd only look at my notifications once every few hours, or when they build up. I've realised 75% of the notifications i'm checking are important... but not urgent. Big advocate for muting everything during focus hours :)

Literally block out everything. Turn the phone off. Step away from the email. If it's getting too much, and you have a bit of spend at all, get a VC to clear crap out. Turn off notifs for stuff you don't need/want. It's totally just a focus/time suck.

to start with, I block all notifications for 12 hours.After that period, I open it again and see what was really a priority.By analyzing each hour in relation to the tasks I had to do, I try to evaluate the most suitable moments in the day in order to authorize them. we rarely receive notification that justifies a response within one minute.You just have to receive them in a dedicated box with continuous authorized notifications.

turn off what's not important

Don't look at them while you need to give your 100% attention to something. And, keep checking all of them every 2-3-4 hours depending on the availability. That's how I survive!

Remove all email notifications and reserve several slots in your agenda to check emails and reply. Best productivity hack ever !

It is sometimes not possible to see every notification that comes and with laziness and sometimes work , we clear every notification , for that there are some apps available on playstore which save notification and we can read from that.

Silence everything. Your brain thinks it wants notifications, the same way it thinks it wants nicotine. If you turn them all off, checking your apps (and your inbox) becomes a lot more mundane (because it's more work to check). All off. Not off for a bit.. then you'll start anticipating when they'll be back.

Pomodoro technique is the best way to do that for you mentally as well - you will train yourself to not depend on the notifications. Also, muting useless topics in chats will help as well :)

Aggressively use the "unsubscribe" button for any unwanted notifications. If it's missing or requires more than a single confirmation click, use "Report Spam".

Whenever I get notification fatigue, I just turn off my phone and start chatting with hot girls on this website: https://www.videochatopedia.com/...

I try to disconnect from my devices in general when I get a bit overwhelmed. I don't like turning off notifications cause then I feel I'm missing something important trying to "reset". So just put everything down and going for a walk helps me :)
