I find all notifications and badges disturbing which is why I turn all of them off on my iPhone except for phone calls/text messages from my family, alarms I set, and calendar appointments. Nothing else is so important that it needs to interrupt my work or peace of mind.

I realize that many company cultures won't allow this. But it is a huge boon to productivity and peace of mind.

I check my apps when I want to check them, not when the apps or other people want me to check them.
