I'm a caregiver for my mom, so I work in the home. I turned off all notifications. Texts, calls, all of it. If I leave the house, I'll unmute so I know if she calls me, because she may need actual help with something, but even then, it's literally just her on Whatsapp that goes through, nothing else.
I've never felt like I had a healthier relationship with my phone. I tend to scroll a little too much on Lemmy, watch too many YouTube shorts in the bathroom or while I'm cooking, but other than that, I feel like a normal human again for the first time since ~2010
