Her What Works - No Notifications

Each Monday I share something that is working for me. It could be health related, a new product, or something completely random that I am loving. I just want to share what I have found that is working for me and will, hopefully, work for you too.

Sean made a cute button for it --- 


Want to share in this idea with us? Grab the button, link back to our blog, and share away. I think this would be a pretty cool linkup, full of ways of making life easier, more fun, more enjoyable, more...whatever! :)

Today's What Works is something I did on a whim a few weeks ago, but has been a huge time saver for me. I am someone who has to eliminate all badge notifications as soon as they show up. Got mail? I have to check. Game notifications? I have to play. iMessage or Text? I have to read it. I just hate to see those little badge notifications.

Facebook was a big one for me. As soon as I saw the notification, I had to check it, which led to me checking my News Feed, commenting on posts, looking at pictures, etc. Next thing I know, 30 minutes has passed and I have lost time that I could have been doing other things for school or the house. 

My solution was simple -  I turned the Notifications off. I turned off the Sounds, Badges, and Lock Screen notifications. Now, when I have time to check Facebook, I do. When I don't, there is no badge icon telling me that there is something for me to see. It's such a simple thing that is freeing up so much of my time. I love it!

What's working for you this week? Grab the button and link up.

Do you have something that is working for you this week? Blog about it and then link up with us. Let's learn something new and make our lives easier - all at the same time. Sounds awesome!

  1. I did the same thing awhile back with notifications from Facebook. I'm one of those insane people that can't stand to see anything in my email mail box so getting a notification, I would always have to click on it, etc. Does indeed save time! I also take the time when I get some type of spam email to remove myself from their mailing list and if I see a pattern where I'm getting spam from the same email address, I add that address to my blocked ones. I've noticed I've cut down on a lot of spam those 2 ways.
