Have someone actually send you some emails?
Use your keys and mousey to put lots of "events" into your calendar
at future times then wait for the passage of Time to trigger them?
Have friends and family who like you and want to communicate with you
and to make plans that include you?
I actually found a way to turn off the notifications thingie once but
I'm not entirely sure how nor why I bothered as I never got any and
I'm sure I don't know how to turn it back on; it's been a few years.
I could, of course do the second suggestion above quite easily even
without the dubious pleasures of planning some interacting with humans
and I suppose I could always surprise myself with emails I sent myself
on delay but even *I* don't want to talk to me so I don't bother.
I'm not being very helpful, am I?
Sorry. I think I need breakfast. Also, it's Winter.

N.B. "Events" can be as simple as "Take your pills", "Eat something",
"There's flavoured drinks in the fridge", "Shopping might be an idea",
"The sheep need more rutabagles" and "Have you thought of getting some
sleep?", they don't have to involve hugely complicated panning
sessions with multiple organisations and individuals. The Calendar
program doesn't care and the Mac is fairly agnostic. They can even be
fake, unreal, made-up stuff! Honestly, they can.
