How to keep track of events and reminders without being sucked into distractions (lemmy.world)

Hi all.

I've been having trouble remembering events and tasks because I often don't notice the notifications of my smartphone or computer when focused on something.

How do you all deal with this without continuously checking your phone and laptop?

And when I check my laptop or phone, I often stop doing anything else because I know something is coming up. And I often also start browsing or doing other things which was not my intention.

Have you tried having a smartwatch?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I have a smartwatch currently. But I sometimes forget to charge it, which means that I won't be able to use it for a while. It does help with noticing notifications though, I especially like that the alarms are silent and only noticeable by me.
