Hey everyone,
I posted this on the Vacation Schemes group but this strategy has honestly massively decreased the frequency I check my emails! I thought the community could share insights into how to do this too! What strategies do you use??
My strategy is:
Every time you think about checking your email draw a little email logo (like the Gmail one- or this one: ✉️) on a piece of paper. I try to do mine on lined paper.
It is a really good way to actively do something instead and often the impulse is gone after drawing something. It also makes you realise the number of times you have thought about your emails!
It might also be a good way of keeping honest/accountable for "giving in" to impulses (which don't help!)
