Notification Fatigue
Notification fatigue drains focus through constant pings and metric alerts. Batch alerts and silence non-essential channels to protect deep work and calm.
Notification fatigue is the drained attention and stress from constant pings—apps, wearables, email—fragmenting focus and spiking cortisol micro-doses all day. Batching alerts, silencing non-essential channels, and protecting deep-work blocks restore cognitive bandwidth.
Wellness apps can worsen fatigue if every metric nags.
