#56 - Tame Your Notifications With This System
Do you feel you’re getting buried by notifications? Are you tired of missing important notices or forgetting who you were responding to next?
If you’re getting overwhelmed by digital noise and need a better way to handle your notifications, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
Today we’re talking about how I manage notifications across many devices and even physical mail. I also include some information on an upcoming (free) Leverage and Growth Summit summit where I’ll be speaking as well as recommendations for how to clean up your inbox.
In this episode, I detail my “one touch rule” and the three categories I use for every notification I get and how it helps me keep things under control. With this technique you’ll stop wasting double the time on notifications you’ve already seen and not miss something important. You will check your email, voicemail, texts, and social media notifications much less frequently.
“I have adopted some of the best tips that I've heard around into a single system.”- Marjorie Stiegler
