Control your NOTIFICATIONS before they start controlling you!!

Do you control what you consume online❓

I do.

Through notifications.

I turn them off. 90% of them are useless anyway.

Such as:

🚫 Only 5 seats left, register for the webinar (I’m not even remotely interested in your webinar Karen)

🚫 50% discount on your favourite collections (come on, we know that’s a lie)

🚫 Someone liked/loved/commented on your post (so what? I’ll know it when I open the app)

Notifications like these can eat up your time before you realize it.

While you will come across so-called hacks to delete those apps, or do a detox blah blah.

I present to you, a better alternative:

1️⃣ The first step to avoid such notifications, is to turn them off. It’s not rocket science.

That smartphone you have is much smarter than you probably know. So use it to save your time and energy. ⏳

2️⃣ The second step is to be careful while giving out your email id or mobile number to random websites. They use your data and sell it to companies.

Sounds shady? then stop trusting every website.

3️⃣ Third: block, block and block the sender. That’s it.

It takes only little effort to control what you see on a daily basis.🎯

Yet we end up blaming our mobile phones. Don’t we? 😂

So.. what have you been doing?

Complaining or controlling❓
