I am, it seems, in the market for this. But...
I don't want to be alerted unless something is important and urgent. I was taught at college to use that distinction.[1]
Not seeing the word "urgent" in the copy on the front page made me think the authors don't appreciate this.

At the risk of sounding like that bloke who wrote about how he wants to be playing offense, not defense, when it comes to communication, this is what I tell people I work with:
Important/Urgent: Call me or come find me
Important/Not Urgent: Tell me when we next talk, or email me
Unimportant/Urgent: Hover by my desk, or message me. If I'm not dealing with more important things, I might see it in time.
Unimportant/Not Urgent: Bring it up when we next see each other, or email me.
The only things I want making a noise and interrupting me is calls on my phone, the doorbell, my egg-timer and my smoke alarm.
