A smart watch helped me (Garmin). I find it's a nice balance. For example, let's say I'm working with my hands on my keyboard. When an email or text message comes in, I glance at my wrist, I see who it is and maybe the subject, and then I continue working without reaching for my phone or mouse. MacOS is pretty good for that with the notifications - integrated with iphone and email, but I've moved away from Apple. If didn't get these notifications, I'd be wondering if it's important or not, so i just take second to look.
