The alerts feel too distracting or disturbing. Is there a better way to use ActRem?

Yes. ActRem often works better when the alerts go to a smartwatch with gentle, discreet vibrations instead of loud or visually disruptive phone notifications. Keep the settings subtle so the reminders stay supportive rather than disturbing. Then, when an alert comes, do not ignore it passively, take a brief moment to actively reconnect with the thought, habit, or state you are training. The real benefit comes from that active engagement with each reminder.
