I recently discovered the importance of being in control of the notifications on your smartphone. When my recent LinkedIn post went viral, I received many comments and connection requests, which led to a constant buzzing of notifications from the LinkedIn app on my phone. This is never fun when you’re trying to concentrate 😊
