![]() ![]() I find the best method though is to bucket apps into categories. Some folks like to sort their apps alphabetically or by colour. Now that you’ve decluttered your apps and reigned in your notifications, it’s time to tidy up your phone’s home screen. You can then turn those specific notifications back on, one-by-one. These might be chat messengers or medication reminders, for example. Over the next day or so, you will very quickly determine there are actually only a couple of apps you rely on notifications from. If that’s too overwhelming and you can’t figure out what to turn off, then disable all notifications. Be ruthless with notifications! Disable everything you don’t need to stay on top of. Your phone is meant to serve you, not the other way around. So why do allow your phone to terrorise you like that? ![]() ![]() You wouldn’t tolerate a person interrupting you every five minutes all day long, constantly texting you, incessantly nudging you with “pst, check this out” while you’re at work. Push notifications are a massive invasion of your time, attention, and mindspace. Working around the ones you’re keeping, you can then delete all the apps you haven’t opened in ages, don’t have a login for, or no longer need (such as location-specific taxi or map apps you might have downloaded while travelling, to name just one example). This makes it super easy to quickly pinpoint what you’ll probably want to keep on your phone.
