3. Stop Compulsive Checking of Email and Social Media
Check your email and social apps only during set times. Instead of checking your email every 20 minutes give it a check every three hours. Set a routine of checking it at 9, noon, 3, and 6. You can then check it once more before bed at 9.
Don’t check your email and instant messaging apps first thing in the morning.
To go extreme, delete the email and instant messaging apps from your phone and only use these services on your computer.
I only install social media and email apps on weekends only or whenever I am traveling and my computer is away from me for more than a day.
