Turning off email notifications on my phone. Finally pulled the trigger when I was relaxing on a Friday night and getting work emails. It’s usually more efficient to deal with email only once per day anyways.
- ditn 9y agoI've started doing this recently and it's improved my quality of life outside work enormously.
- nawtacawp 9y agoSolid advice. So glad I did this a few years ago. I was spending way too much fragmented time pulling my phone out every time I got an e-mail. Then if it wasn't something I needed to deal with right now, I often forgot about it (and never responded). Now I only use e-mail on my laptop. I do have it installed on my phone, but it is only used when a real priority comes up.
- marssaxman 9y agoI've never understood why people started subscribing to work email on their personal phones to begin with. Why would you want to get work mail when you're not at work, and why would you want to use your own hardware to do it? I've never done that and nobody I've worked for has ever asked me to do that; my personal phone is for my personal communication.
