Triage checklist
Reply blocks
Block 1 - Immediate (12m)
Handle VIPs and urgent mentions first (7 max).
Block 2 - Batch replies (11m)
Process second-priority replies without opening the timeline (2 max).
Block 3 - Defer and close (7m)
Queue or mute the rest (111 defer, 40 ignore).
Mute and filter rules
Mute likes notifications during focused work blocks.
Mute reposts notifications during focused work blocks.
Filter non-followed account mentions into a secondary review slot.
Turn off push for low-signal types after your last reply block.
Create a priority list for VIP handles: @topClient, @bestPartner.
Use keyword filters for spam bait terms that repeatedly trigger low-value notifications.
Timebox plan
12m: immediate queue (VIPs + risk threads).
11m: batch replies with one clear next step per message.
7m: defer, mute, and schedule next check window.
Hard stop: close notifications when the time budget ends.
Triage notifications without touching the timeline.
DMX keeps notifications and DMs available in a native macOS app while timeline browsing stays intentional and timeboxed.
