I had that problem a lot in college and when looking for jobs. For me it was just a mental click and realization that me constantly checking wasn’t going to change the outcome of whatever I may be looking for.

Set a reminder notification in two hours increments or just one for in the morning to start the day to build the habit

Set it so you get alerted when you get an email, so you know you'll only need to check when you get one and you'll never miss one

Check when you go to the bathroom or when you eat your meals

I be saying they too tbh. I’m apart of a lot of things in uni and I decide to drop them all this upcoming year and I’ve had lots of very important interviews and other activities required me to check my email constantly so I’m just tryna get out of this habit because it’s definitely been a toll on me. I appreciate the reinforcement of that idea though I will try to keep it in mind when I can

Definitely understand to check constantly especially on important things but those important things aren’t going to disappear if you don’t response right away. Just gotta think “does this really require my attention within the next xyz amount of time”.

Like I get important emails at work all the time but I can’t always get to it and set the thought in my mind of “okay how important is this and how quickly do I need to respond?” And then prioritize my response time based on that thought

It’s more of a personal thing but I get it. I just naturally get a lot of high importance ones but there’s some that are definitely more of a okay im waiting to hear a response of whether I got rejected or next steps yada yada but fair point thank you
