Hello,

I was once the same way with my mobile phone. Constantly checking even though the bloody thing would notify me when I have a message. It became an addiction. I didn’t care about everything else, I just had to do it. What I did was I reminded myself of the time when e-mail and text messages didn’t exist and the internet wasn’t as accessible. I don’t know how old you are but WE WERE OKAY WITHOUT IT. Did I really want to be “controlled” by a piece of electronic gadget? Try to be mindful of what you’re doing. It’s not easy but it can be done. You have to believe in yourself that you can do it.

I can also suggest putting yourself on a schedule. You will only check emails twice a day, until it becomes once a day. Start taking note of how many times you check your email in a day. When you see the numbers, you might realize how ridiculous it is. You can start reducing it from there.

The answer is within yourself. Good luck.. It won’t be easy but IT CAN BE DONE.
