I have to laugh at my earlier post,
βThe one about addiction,
And negative side-effects;
It was pretty impulsive,
And also generalising,
WordPress is different,
To the ones I’ve been avoiding;
The thing I’m really calling βbullshitβ on,
Was the importance I’d attached, myself,
βTo like notifications,
And social approval;
I do get addicted to things,
Pretty easily,
Especially in a depressed,
Unfocused state;
I read it back, and realised,
It almost sounds ungrateful,
βBut obviously, the feedback through likes,
Is only positive,
And taken positively,
And I’ve disabled, now,
A lot of the notifications,
I’m more focused now,
And feeling happier;
So thank you for reading,
And also for liking,
I really appreciate it…
Have I dug myself out yet? π

Many are like you and stop the notifications, I have especially on my phone just about to read something and ping across the screen, I stop them all.

Yeah, totally agree with that! I’ve had all notifications on my phone disabled for ages. Even the badge ones are annoying and distracting. Even given all that, it was still distracting when using the wordpress app to see all the notifications within the app itself.

Disabling notifications sounds like a good strategy.
