Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Most of what floods in is newsletters and promos I never asked to keep reading, and I delete the same senders day after day
- My email pings me all day for messages that could’ve waited until tomorrow, and every single buzz yanks me out of whatever I was doing
- My inbox is open all day and I refresh it every few minutes out of reflex, half my brain always braced for the next message
- I leave my inbox open all evening just in case, and I end up refreshing it on the couch
- Every time my inbox pings I drop what I’m doing to check it, and even when nothing’s there I keep glancing
Practices that may help
