They say, on average, a person spends four hours a day using their mobile phone, which is almost 25% of their waking hours. With such an amount of time spent on screen time, there are moments when we don't look at our phones for a couple of hours while we are occupied with something important.

When we finally check our phones, we often find a bunch of push notifications on our home screen. We tend to focus on the communications from a few important applications, have a quick glance at the rest, and then clear all the notifications at once.

Later, when we visit a particular application or when someone reminds us of a message they have sent, we realize that an important communication was hidden among those push notifications, which we should have responded to but failed to notice at the time. Similarly, due to the various roles we play daily, each demanding a lot of our time, we tend to miss out on the important notifications life gives us.

If we can constructively interpret the instances of our lives regularly by introspecting, we would discover profound insights hidden in those incidents, which would help us grow in maturity. The chapters in this book contain such profound inferences, which I have derived from my own life experiences.

These insights went unnoticed when they happened, but I discovered them days, months, or even years later. I wish to share them with the world, and that's how 'Unnoticed Notifications' was born.
