Break the Habit: Why Starting Your Day with Emails and News Alerts Might Not Be Ideal
Balancing work from home with other responsibilities has proven challenging for many, with a significant number diving into emails and social media immediately upon waking up. The constant influx of news alerts from CNN and Fox News can exacerbate feelings of overwhelm.
While there's no specific statistic for Germany, it's widely acknowledged that a substantial portion of people kick-start their day by checking Gmail and Yahoo Mail as soon as their alarm goes off. This habit, though common, may not be the most beneficial way to begin the day. Instead of easing into the morning, it plunges individuals into a full-throttle, chaotic mode, potentially setting a stressful tone for the rest of the day.
Constant news alerts, whether about work or global events, can add to this sense of overwhelm. They demand immediate attention, even before one has had a chance to properly wake up or attend to personal needs.
Given the potential drawbacks, it might be wise to consider alternative ways to start the day. This could involve setting aside time for personal activities, such as exercise or mindfulness, before diving into work-related tasks. After all, a calm and focused beginning can often lead to a more productive and less stressful day.
