If you're like me, who simply cannot resist opening up any new emails once you see the notification, then this post is for you.
I have learnt that closing the email tab on my laptop when I want to focus on writing (on my website) really DOES keep me FOCUSED.
It's not just a matter of reading the new emails coming in. Some may require action, which I tend to take immediately, hence taking time away from my writing task.

Some emails may lead to a completely different train of thought, prompting me to use the search engines to read up more.
No matter what, it DISTRACTS.
By delaying gratification, I get the greater satisfaction of receiving tons of emails when I check 3 hours from the last time. How twisted is that? Lol.
That's typically how long I take to write a post, without having to constantly glance at that email tab. And that's one hour faster than if the tab was there.
25 hours a day, anyone??
Have a great day ahead, WA family!
