enable the Do Not Disturb feature on your devices

I don't really need to do this ☝️, because I've done this 👇.

and only grant notification permissions to essential apps

Never do I get notifications that I don't want, unless I've installed some new app and haven't fine-tuned its notification settings yet, after allowing notifications from it at all. 👍

Besides all that, I definitely agree that the FOSS lifestyle helps with a quiet digital existence. You only ever take part in information that you seek out on your own. Very nice.

Also not having installed addictive apps like Instagram or Facebook with algorithm-controlled content, really helps keep away scroll addiction.
