Lesson 72: Managing Notifications on Your Computer

Stay Focused: How to Manage Notifications on Your Computer

It's Day 72, and today we'll learn how to manage notifications on your computer. Notifications can be helpful, but too many can be distracting. Let's explore how to adjust notification settings to suit your needs.

How to Manage Notifications:

1. On Windows:
   
   

• Go to Settings → System → Notifications & Actions.
  
  

• You can turn off notifications entirely or manage them by app. For example, you might want to allow email notifications but block social media alerts.
  
  

2. On Mac:
   
   

• Open System Preferences → Notifications.
  
  

• Here, you can choose which apps can send you notifications. You can also set up Do Not Disturb mode to temporarily silence all alerts

Why It's Important:

Managing notifications helps you stay focused while working. Reducing unnecessary alerts can improve productivity and prevent distractions.

Try It Out:

Open your notification settings today and review which apps are sending you alerts. Adjust the settings to block any notifications you don't need, and enable Do Not Disturb during work or quiet time.

Pro Tip:

If you receive notifications on multiple devices (like your phone and computer), consider adjusting settings so that important alerts only show up on one device.
