Why this helps

Immediate reactions to every message create interruptions and fragmented focus.

  • Reduces notification-driven context switching
  • Creates a consistent settling window
  • Makes follow-up timing easier to reason about

  • 3Tell Notis to pause briefly after each new Gmail message before the next benchmark review.
  • 4Choose New Gmail Message Received as the trigger.
