Turn Off Non-Essential Notifications
On a similar note to “junk food” apps, there’s also the issue of the notifications that constantly bombard your smartphone every day. Significantly restricting notifications isn’t necessarily part of KonMari, but it’s a commonly repeated tip by many digital wellbeing advocates.
Just think about most notifications you get. No matter what the notifications are, bottom line they’re distractions and can create stress.
A best practice is to only leave notifications on for apps a human may use to get in immediate contact with you — Messages, email, WhatsApp, etc.
Everything else is fair game, and you’ll probably be happier without any of them.
