Stop checking your email, and you'll be happier and healthier

5/6/2012

If you're having trouble concentrating at work, the problem may be too much email. A new study finds that people who disconnect from email when on the job are better able to focus on single tasks, shift between windows far less frequently and have considerably lower blood pressure than they do when checking that sweet, sweet Inbox. The study suggests that workers take "email vacations" to de-stress, but don't you want to take a bite off that apple, baby? Just a quick peek. It won't hurt anyone. Daddy needs some sugar, then he'll go back to work. Honest.
