Are you overwhelmed by the constant stream of notifications you receive daily on your phone?

It’s time to tame the notification beast and take control of your digital life.

Here are 5 steps to get started.

  • Review your notification settings

    Chances are, you don’t need every app to send notifications. Go through each app on your phone and decide which ones you don’t want interruptions from. Turn off or silence notifications for apps that aren’t essential. Remember, you can still see your notifications in the app without having them interrupt you all day.

  • Use the "Do Not Disturb” function

    This function will silence all notifications for a set period of time. You can customise it to allow certain contacts to reach you in case of an emergency.

  • Set aside phone-free times

    Choose specific times of the day when you will not check your phone, such as during meals or before bed. This will allow you to disconnect and give your brain a break from the constant stream of notifications.

  • Limit the number of apps you use

    The more apps you have on your phone, the more notifications you will receive. Consider deleting or uninstalling apps that you don't use frequently or aren't essential.

  • Learn more about how to make your phone work for you

    Several online courses can help you learn to manage and filter your notifications. A good course should enable you to decide which notifications you receive and when you receive them.

By following these steps, you can take control of the notifications you receive and reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed. It may take some time to get used to, but the benefits are well worth it. So, have a go -  and tame the Notifications Beast!
