No notifications

I’m pondering removing badge notifications —those little red numbers if you use iPhone— from all my apps.

I already keep my phone on silent and only allow a few core apps to display a notification. I think removing the badges is the next step.

I’m try to get to a state of only picking up my phone and checking an app when I choose to, rather than remaining at the behest of apps.

I have a fear I’ll miss out on something but my life is very routine and predictable so I think I’ll be ok.

Wish me luck!

  1. Do it! I’ve been running without for a decade, at the suggestion of a friend I was working beside and looked at my screen and thought it barbaric to have so many distractions.

    1. Should have them all turned off by tomorrow. The future is… quieter?
