New emails and messages: work interruptions that can cause stress. New tasks are constantly coming in and messages are landing in your inbox.
This can be stressful and lead to stress, consciously or unconsciously. Take time for your email in the morning, lunch and afternoon. The rest of the time your email inbox is not open. This way you keep the focus on your actual work. If this happens constantly, you may feel like you can no longer concentrate on your work. Stress arises, cortisol levels rise and this can lead to sleep disorders, digestive problems or an increased heart rate.
