check my e-mail less

email really can be the devil…I made a new year’s resolution last year to check it less, and well, that didn’t really pan out… but I’m trying again. I want to shoot for only checking twice a day and not at all on the weekends.

• Don’t leave it open.
• Don’t have notifiers or alerts to tell you that new mail has arrived

I started by decreasing the amounts of times I could check during the day. In other words, I would shave two times a day with every week.

I now check my e-mail much less, however, I still can improve. It would be nice to not be so reliant on it, so that I could check it every 3-4 hours instead of every two.

I am obsessed with checking my e-mail, so I am starting to give myself boundaries, like not checking it after 8pm or on weekends…..it is hard though. But, I need to separate work from life…and e-mail is WORK.
