Make alerts earn your attention.

An alert should help you decide what to review next. If every change receives the same urgency, the important work gets buried. Begin by deciding which part of your process each notification is meant to support.

Choose the scope first

Start with the companies and sectors you actively research. A narrow watchlist gives the notification a reason to exist. You can widen the scope later when you have a clear question that requires broader coverage.

Match delivery to the task

Use a scheduled digest for routine changes and a research queue for items that can wait. Keep immediate notifications for the conditions you have deliberately chosen to review promptly. Quiet hours should reflect when you are able to do that review.

Review the rules, too

At the end of a week, look at which alerts led to useful research and which you repeatedly dismissed. Adjust the rule or delivery rhythm instead of accepting interruption as a fixed cost. A smaller, more relevant queue is a good outcome.

Inside the MarketSnack demo, ask to walk through watchlist scope, digest timing and the path from an alert to a saved note. The purpose is to see whether the workflow fits your day.
