great hack I discovered the other day, option and clicking on a Mac on your time in the corner, automatically puts your Mac into do not disturb mode, which automatically silences all notifications except the ones that you let through from a loved one or something like that. So I've been using that a lot this last week.
And now I just don't see my notifications until I go to the toilet to take a break. I'm like, Oh, hello. I'm so glad I missed all the notifications because they would have just completely taken me out of flow and gotten me very distracted.
