I just realized I've checked my email 47 times today

I was looking at my phone's digital wellbeing stats and saw the number. It's only 2 PM, and I work from home in Denver. I keep thinking I missed an important message from my boss, even though my notifications are on. Does anyone else get stuck in a loop like this?

Oh man, that number would give me a heart attack. I got so bad with my work Slack once that I started getting phantom buzzes in my pocket, like my leg was just making it up. Had to shut the whole app off for an afternoon just to reset my brain. It's wild how a little red notification dot can turn us into lab rats.

Yeah it's crazy how we're all trained to jump at those little alerts. I've caught myself checking my phone even when it didn't go off, just out of habit. Feels like we're all in some weird behavior experiment lol.
