If you’re like me, you might not like the constant barrage of email notifications on your Mac. I don’t mind them sometimes, but usually I’d much rather check my email when I’m ready to check my email. Notifications can distract you from what you’re working on and add to our already A.D.D.-like tech lives.

- Go to the Apple menu -> System Preferences.
- Click on Notifications (or type it in the Spotlight search bar)
- Click on the app you want to disable notifications for (i.e. Mail)
- For “Mail Alert Style” click on “None”
