Browsers serve as both a gateway to vast information and a source of constant distractions. From social media notifications to countless open tabs, staying focused can be challenging. Frequent interruptions not only slow down productivity but also increase stress levels, comparable to the effects of sleep deprivation. To combat these issues, declutter bookmarks, use tab management tools, disable notifications, and enable full-screen mode. These strategies, combined with self-discipline, can greatly enhance your productivity and reduce the stress caused by a cluttered browser.

A message from Shift's support team 👋🏼
Managing access/permission has been changed in Shift! Due to Google's recent policy updates, Shift's access management to accounts and apps (OAuth) has been changed. OAuth is an authorization protocol that uses tokens to secure access to features like Epic Search, Mute Notifications, and Unified Calendar and to send you necessary updates. Now you can decide if you want to give Shift full access when you sign in to your accounts. We recommend doing so, as denying permissions will disable specific features.
