How to stop checking my e-mail every 2 minutes ! (Waiting for a reply.)

[Jeannne92]

I have been waiting for a reply to an important e-mail since yesterday and can't stop checking to see whether it has arrived. How can I distract myself and be less obsessive?

Is it one you need to respond to right away or you're just desperate to find out what it says? I'd set an alarm for on the hour (or half hour) to check, and try to do something active like cooking or sorting that takes focus.

They always come when you least expect them!!

Thank you both; this really helped. One I want to read ! (Not need to reply to asap.)

Still not received 😳
