Which Notifications (Actually) Matter! | Ep. 164

In this episode, Amy unpacks how technology infiltrates our day-to-day lives and offers strategies to eliminate pesky distractions.

(2:31) Category #1: Never Need It

Amy breaks notifications down into three categories, starting with a “Never Need It” basis. These are the things like shopping sale notifications, gaming apps, and even social media apps. The more that an app operates by leveraging your FOMO, the less you need it pinging you all day!
