There’s people that don’t have adhd that can handle notifications. That’s the thing with being impulsive - those disorders are mental illnesses (quite technically) and will limit your net worth. It’s like why do all developers need to be listening to the orchestra or radio while programming?

On one hand: well, when you have to keep big mental models in your head you don't want to be interrupted. The big headphones serve to indicate you are in the middle of work.
On the other hand: have you ever been on a construction site? You'll hear some radio usually.
Yup, used this exact same model for some time. The problem is it does not block voice sound as well as other. But anything else? Silence. It is crazy how loud an AC can sound after you remove those.
Maybe those people who "can handle notifications" are just less much less productive as a baseline to start with? Hence they don't feel the impact as much.
I often find this with people who think they are good at "multitasking".
It's not at all a mental illness. That's ignorant.
Some of the most technically adept people I know are on the spectrum and they are incredibly valuable. We're talking Chief architects, lead/senior engineers, Network engineers, and the list goes on.
People like that probably have divergent neurochemistry compared to you.
Learn to leverage that asset and stop being a Karen.
