Most people think notifications are just interruptions. Small distractions.Minor annoyances.Tiny breaks in concentration. But over time, notifications do something much deeper than interrupt you.

Most people think they’re struggling with distraction. But distraction is only the surface-level symptom.

What Disorganisation Actually Costs You Each Year Most people underestimate the cost of disorganisation because the cost rarely arrives as one big bill. It arrives as leaks.
