Make your phone less demanding in fifteen minutes
Attention settings work best when they reflect what you actually need. The goal is a phone that supports your day rather than a complicated discipline challenge.
Keep human priorities reachable
Identify people and urgent services that need access to you. Preserve their alerts before disabling lower-value notifications.
Remove the easiest distraction
Move one frequently opened app off the home screen or turn off its badges. Start with a change you can evaluate.
Choose a check-in window
Group nonurgent updates into a time that suits your work and family. Adjust the plan if it causes missed responsibilities.
Try this today
Change three notification settings today, then review after a week rather than repeatedly tweaking them.
