Ever feel like email is draining your soul? You’re not alone. Every ding, buzz, or pop-up steals your focus, yanks you from what you’re doing, and floods your brain with “must-respond-now” stress hormones. It’s like trying to hold a conversation while someone taps your shoulder every five seconds—it’s exhausting! Worse, most emails aren’t even urgent, yet we treat them like breaking news.
The fix? Take back control. First, batch your email time: check your inbox at set intervals—say, morning, lunch, and late afternoon. Second, turn off those constant notifications. Finally, embrace the two-minute rule: if you can reply in under two minutes, do it; otherwise, snooze or schedule it for later. These simple tweaks cut the mental noise and give you back hours of your day.
The result? Less email fatigue, more energy for real work (or fun). You didn’t become a digital janitor, so stop sweeping up your inbox all day. Give these tips a go, and thank yourself later!
