Are emails causing you stress and anxiety? Do you avoid reading your emails or sending them sometimes? Did you know that there's something called "email apnea" where people hold their breath when opening their emails? In this episode, Erica Curtis and I discuss the effects of emails on our brains, and what we can do to limit the amount of stress we're feeling and the pressure to respond to things "instantly."
They discuss:
-Setting healthy time boundaries
-Practicing time away from phones/computers
-Setting realistic expectations for response times
-Practicing effective communication through emails and texts
If you're feeling bogged down by your inbox, then check out this episode for practical tips on how to navigate emails and texts...without all the stress.
