Rant: My phone's endless pinging made me snap, so I shut off every alert
It got so absurd that my phone buzzed during a shower, and I slipped trying to grab it. Now I hold the crazy opinion that notification management apps are a waste when you can just turn them all off. For example, I only check my messages three times a day, and my email once in the morning. This hack means I actually focus on work instead of jumping at every sound. My friends think I'm missing out, but my battery lasts longer and I'm less stressed. Give it a shot for a weekend and you might not go back.
