Jokes aside, try setting your notification sound to none, block notifications for most app except essential ones like signal. I had mine silenced a few years ago so it doesnt interrupt music but ended up liking it that way and it became a permanent lifestyle.

I highly recommend reading and at least once trying to implement the Newport’s Dogital Minimalism. Even if you don’t go all in, it has a lot of food for thought in regards to technolpoy usage. I’ve spent almost a year with a dumb Nokia (the LTE version of bananaphone) that did still have a (barely usable) Maps app and also could make a hotspot, so I could use my powered off smartphone I always carried with me for emergencies. I have since returned back to using smartphone, mostly because of work requirements, and have fallen out of a lot of Minimalism habits, but things like turned off notifications and learning not to care about missing stuff/replying later has stayed with me. Once you get rid of notification FOMO, it’s pretty liberating. I should get a dumb phone again.

Watching this on my phone really got my introspection kicking.
