I’m getting increasing tired of the notifications that I have in my life. The top offenders for me are Facebook, LINE, Google Talk, whatsapp and email.
I feel obliged to clear the notification icons on my desktop and phone. There are just too many ways of reaching me. And I like to experiment with new technologies that I install and sign up so many applications to connect myself even more.
I’m opting to disconnect for a while, maybe three months. No more Facebook. I have a major fatigue over notifications. I get increasingly annoyed with these distractions. The only one I cannot unplug from is email, my major chore of the day.
Good luck. Expect withdrawal symptoms! I have a solid case of popcorn brain and not sure I could go cold turkey like you’re doing… Kudos.
missbossy, I might not succeed totally! But by aiming to not use Facebook, I hope to lessen my usage considerably. It’s hard to eliminate the usage totally. I started by uninstalling the Facebook application from my phone and blocking Facebook on my own laptop.
