Disable app notifications for one non-essential app
Por qué este hábito ayuda
The average smartphone user receives 46 push notifications daily, creating constant decision fatigue and fragmenting attention spans, reducing deep work capacity by up to 40%.
Research from UC Irvine shows it takes an average of 23 minutes to regain deep focus after an interruption, making notification management crucial for cognitive performance and stress reduction.

Resumen rápido
Every notification is a tiny decision point that pulls you out of your present focus and into someone else's agenda. By disabling non-essential alerts, you reclaim ownership of your attention and cognitive resources.
This act of digital boundary-setting is like closing unnecessary tabs in your brain. It creates mental space for what truly matters and reduces the background anxiety of constant availability.

💬 Tus Historias de Éxito
I turned off notifications for my shopping apps and it's been revolutionary. I didn't realize how much those 'sale alert' notifications were creating this subtle pressure to check and buy. Now I only see deals when I intentionally open the app, and I've saved money and mental energy. It's like I put up a 'do not disturb' sign for consumerism.
