  Phone notifications are what helps me not to forget something the most. I disabled all useless notification and now on my lock screen I only see things I need to process. I get message from someone that I don't want to reply right away? I just leave that notification on screen. All reminders, mails and various other notifications (my washing machine pings me when its done) stay on my screen until I do what needs to be done. This together with using trello as personal scrum board really helped me todo more.

  I only allow a few apps to present notifications on my phone so when one appears, it’s because I want it. I may decide to snooze it but I never just ignore it as a routine event. Most apps have too many events to be worth notifications. Looking at you Slack. Those are better handled by a periodic polling rather than push notifications.

My phone notifications were useless until I did the same. Deny notification access by default and "poll" your inbox/chats/etc with a calendar reminder 1, 3, or 5 times per day.
