You ever feel like your phone is auditioning for a role in your life as “Most Annoying Roommate”? Notifications are relentless. They don’t knock—they just barge in, interrupting your day like they pay rent. Step one: set some rules. Go into your settings and cut off anything that isn’t absolutely necessary. Karen’s lunch pic? Denied. The app reminding you to meditate? Ironic, but also denied.
Next, stop letting notifications run your schedule. Batch them up. Pick one or two times a day to handle your phone like a responsible adult. Picture it like checking the mailbox—efficient, quick, and no lingering to read spam. Bonus: this makes you look busy and important, even if you’re just scrolling memes.
Finally, boundaries are your new best friend. No one expects you to answer every ping immediately, so don’t act like your phone’s customer service. Set work hours, create an auto-reply, and enjoy your peace. Notifications don’t need to run the show. You’ve got this. For more tips, check out
