- [Garrick] There are probably several times

with a phone call, or a text message, or an email,

Now you could just turn your phone off, of course,

but then you might miss truly urgent or important calls.

if you don't manually go in and turn vibration off,

unless you go in and turn notifications off.

So, let's instead take a look at a feature

which allows you to be much more selective

about which notifications you do and don't want to see

of default suggestions for focus options here,

but you can also create your own custom focuses

lets you determine which apps can send notifications

of the people you communicate with the most

that you don't want to be able to contact you,

but you can also switch this to silence notifications from

if you instead want to mute people that you've added here.

you can choose who can get through to you with a phone call.

which I kind of think defeats the purpose

so you probably want to choose one of the other options here.

so anyone you've added to your favorites in the phone app

You can also choose to allow specific groups

if you've created groups in your contacts app,

so you might want to create a group of people

In this case, I'll just choose allowed people only,

so only the people that I've added to this focus here

Now with that enabled, we have this repeated calls area,

and this is really important to leave on in my opinion.

With this enabled, if you receive a second call

from the same number within three minutes of the first call,

so if there's an emergency or urgent event

and someone is trying to get ahold of you

to go back to the main work focus screen.

to send notifications while this focus is active.

Now since this is the work focus that I'm working on,

I want to add any of the apps that I use for work.

For example, we have a suggestion here for Microsoft Teams,

but everything else here isn't work related.

I'll be able to receive notifications from

about what apps you use daily while working
