Your Brain on Email

01/06/2015

Reading and writing emails is associated with unhealthy levels of stress, reports Psychology Today (February 2015; page 12). Here are some tips they offer to prevent email from taking over your life:

Start each day with a routine that sets a stress-free tone. Spend those first 20 minutes of your day focusing on things that nourish you — running, meditating, cuddling with a pet.
Create a task list before you even open your inbox. Schedule email time, but keep it in its place.
Take a breather before you respond to a stressful message. Engage in an activity that helps you restore your peace of mind or state of well being.
