How often do notifications interrupt your working day?

In this Squiggly Careers Shortcut, Sarah shares five practical ways to reduce notifications and find more focus. Learn how switching between tasks steals our attention, and how small changes can help us spend more time doing just one thing at once.

🎯 What You'll Learn

- Choose which notifications you need and which you just want

- Use Do Not Disturb to create time to focus

- Plan phone breaks to make changing your habits more manageable

- Find a productivity partner and work towards a shared goal
