24/7 Do Not Disturb (except for a few starred contacts) was one of my best decisions. Many notifications are disallowed entirely. I'll see when I choose to look. Cleaning up subscriptions has been helping too. I deleted everything except YouTube and Nostr. I feel a lot better, but I'm imperfect. I still catch myself spinning out. The difference is I notice and correct it very quickly now.
Cognitive Operational Security is the mental layer of your defenses. If someone can shape your attention, they can shape your behavior.
Stop being pavlov's dog. Let’s fix it.
