    6 weeks ago I stopped looking at Twitter notifications. The experiment was a resounding success. Try it for a week and see.

        It's equally effective not to be famous and have hundreds of thousands of followers ;-)

        do you still have conversations on twitter then? Or just use it to broadcast your thoughts?

        Notifications became more manageable when I limited them to only people I follow. Otherwise it's constant Pavlovian responses.

        I still try to see what everyone else is saying, but outside the Notifications tab is better.

        That's why I recently fired Facebook. It was my biggest time waster.

        Probably one of the reasons a startup hero like you have relatively few followers

        Don’t get many notifications, but I separated news into a separate account. Main account is just real people now. Much better.
