## What to be careful about

* Disabling too many notifications can cause missed updates
* Enabling everything can lead to notification overload
* Not using Email or Push for critical events can delay response

<Warning>
  Be intentional: keep high-impact notifications enabled, and use Email/Push for time-sensitive events.
</Warning>

## Recommended focus

Prioritize notifications for:

* High-impact events
* Actions that require your attention
* Security-related alerts
* Scheduling changes (events, reschedules, cancellations)
