How many notifications do you get every day? I bet you get a bunch. I get assaulted by as many as 200 notifications a day.
If you’re like me, when you feel your phone buzz you just have to reach for it. That notification sits at the front of your mind until you check it, whether it’s instantly or in an hour's time. Those persistent notifications cause us to check our phones a whopping 150 times a day!
