Check Your Email

According to Morgenstren, “because people use their cell phone as an alarm clock, they are prone to instinctually check email before they’ve even wiped the boogers from their eyes…by opening your email before you’ve gone to the bathroom and brushed your teeth, you are allowing someone else to set your priorities. That stack of to-do’s in your inbox is more likely to drain your wellbeing, success and happiness than add to it.” Therefore, it might be helpful to keep your phone away from you when you sleep and use an actual alarm clock so that you are less tempted to check your e-mail right after you awake.
