Instantly Turn on Do Not Disturb Mode in OS X by Pressing Option + Clicking
Do Not Disturb is a great way to briefly turn off notifications on your Mac, but opening Action Center to turn it on is a little cumbersome. Macworld reminds us that you can do this with Option + Click to save time.
All you have to do is Option + click the Action Center icon in the upper right corner. This enables (or disables) Do Not Disturb (gray off). It was a long time ago, but easy to miss.
