I’ve been applying the opposite strategy. On my remote work days, I leave my phone on full sound, and every notification that arrives and makes a sound or vibrates, I check it, and I personally modify its parameters to fit its case.
After a week of this, my phone only rings and vibrates for the important stuff. Chats and email are fully silent now (if you really need me, just call). Also, now that my phone can ring (before this I just always set my phone on vibration) I’ve set up different distinctive sounds for the different important stuff so I know what’s up right away.

You should try it too.
