I didn’t notice this fact before!!
[btw, a popup message came from the bar below and distracted me while I was writing this comment!]
I will disable all notifications except for my GMail notifier!

Visual alerts are really distracting, in fact, some give it no attention at all. The alternative of sound alert I find interesting. I will remember this findings.

Totally agree, as we continue to move to this “real-time” social world, cutting down distractions will be hard to do but necessary for productivity.
