Notifications are the enemy of productivity

Last updated on:

For some time now, all of my WhatsApp notifications have been disabled. Same on Messenger and Twitter.

Since then, everything is clearly better. I'm not constantly distracted by the urge to check my messages, or to see the latest replies to my stupid tweets.

This monday, I reactivated WhatsApp's notifications, and I was confirmed in my observation: notifications are the enemy of productivity. Really.

So I turned them all off again.
