Best thing I did for my phone induced stress is get an old Pebble smartwatch, choose the few apps/contacts I want to get notified instantly to vibrate on the watch and set my phone itself on silent permanently.
I switched to Niagara launcher. Set all notifications to silent so they only appear in the shade and then i can only see the inline notification of the handful of fav apps pinned. It’s been so wonderful to just ignore my phone.
You paint a beautiful picture, and I’ve been meaning to switch off Nova Launcher since they got bought by an analytics company. I’m going to have to try this out, thanks.
Notifications stress me out (I stripped them down to the point were I get very few) and this article is raising my blood pressure.

Nova got bought? Is that what happened to them? :(
Yeah. It’s been almost 2 years now but I only heard about it a couple months ago.
Oooo I hadn’t heard of Niagara launcher before. It looks really beautiful!
