It’s all personal preference but I’d go crazy if I had email notifications on. If it’s urgent and I want you to have instant access to me you should be able to text me. Otherwise, email is something I look at at beginning or end of day. Same for work. It’s well documented at this point how destructive interruptions and distractions are to reaching deeper levels of thought, engagement and productivity…and that is not restricted to the work world.
Yeah I have three emails - business (self employed, always on), personal (always notify but no sound), Hotmail (orders and spam, fuck off don’t notify)
My dad has all YouTube notifications turned on for every channel he follows. He also has the sound on max at all hours of the day. I’ve asked if he wants help turning them off and he told me he likes it that way, so I’m pretty sure he’s a psychopath.
Disable everything except email and WhatsApp, also SMS for deliveries
Why the fuck would you have BBC News notify you that Pol Pot won Strictly Come Dancing?!?
Never understood why people would leave notifications on for everything, except to have their phone beep in public to make them seem popular, maybe?

Everything else can fuck the fuck off
I have an anazing solution for you, just keep BBC news uninstalled?
