I turned off all notifications years ago.
Slack notifications are all off.
Whatsapp notifications are all off. Except for my wife’s messages - call it survival instinct.
Telegram notifications are all off.
Alarm clock sounds are off. I have children.
Banking notifications are all off.
Email notifications are all off.
Calendar notifications are all off.
My friends & colleagues may think I'm insane.
But here's what I noticed: alert fatigue is a thing.
It destroys accountability, it turns us into “smart”phone slaves.
When your Finance App, Bank or Accounts Payable app sends 47 notifications a day, you don’t read them.
When alerts are constant, they become wallpaper.
The problem isn't that people ignore alerts.
It's that we've overwhelmed them.
The most sensitive apps, like finance & banking, should rely on high-severity alerts only, not constant noise.
But most tools were built by attention-optimising engineers who respond to the motto "more daily users = better app."
So now we get pinged for any expense like coffee payments, snacks, lunches.
And somehow we miss $1,000 fraudulent payments for weeks.
I failed to notice 3 fraudulent payments of $900 in December 2025 (because someone got hold of my debit card).
I’ve just checked, and this banking app also sent me 63 notifications in December 2025!
None about a potential fraud. Zero.
But of course, I turned those harassing notifications off months ago.
Systems need to be quiet by default.
An alert needs to be alerting in case there is a warning, i.e., something is broken or really needs attention.
While the banking app was building notifications for everything, they did not build any notification system for this fraudulent activity.
They offload responsibility onto clients.
Adding more alerts does not tighten controls.
It does the opposite.
Silence isn't negligence.
At Request Finance, we’re launching stablecoin-powered corporate cards for businesses in a few weeks. Notifications won’t be overwhelming for CFOs.

Day 4: Back on track. Target reached again. Easier not to listen to Podcasts all the time, but missing music by Spotify.
Laptop time and watching TV goes Up. That's not good. Ready for Day 5.

Donald Trump launched $TRUMP, the biggest memecoin in history.
This is a pivotal moment for crypto and the start of hypercycle
Few understand what happened, but this will change your life.
A full breakdown of $TRUMP launch and what it means for YOU 🧵👇
Can someone make this make sense for me? (note: am a 6-figure fwog holder and mega fan)
fwog’s X engagement vs. $tobi = 2.7x higher
fwog’s holder count vs. $tobi = 9.5x higher
fwog’s market cap vs. $tobi = 250x higher
If my math is math’ing, $tobi tobillions VERY soon.

2. BEFORE YOU BUY ANY COIN, DYOR
You must invest in projects you genuinely understand and that fit into your investment framework.
Don't just take someone's word for it.
Team, community and tokenomics are especially important.
