A flood of notifications

During work, red circles in the corner of his screen kept multiplying. Messages, market alerts, social media “recommendations.” Ethan endlessly repeated “just a quick check,” his concentration shattered every five minutes. Before his mind could settle, the next stimulus arrived. On the crosswalk home, a phantom notification—a vibration he didn’t feel—ran across his palm. He laughed it off, but his nerves weren’t laughing.
— Tips : Whitelist notifications (only names and work). Turn off all badge numbers and banners. Limit sounds to 1-2 types based on necessity.
