I’ve been trying to protect my mornings, but I still find myself skimming emails the second I wake up. It’s like my brain never gets a clean slate, I just go straight into problem-solving mode before I even get coffee. I know I’d feel better saving it for later, but I worry I’ll miss something important. How do you actually resist the urge to check work stuff first thing?

It's hard but remove email from your phone and just check it at your computer.

It's just a matter of self-discipline. You need to get breakfast first, that's part of taking care of yourself. If there's something you're expecting to hear, that's one thing. But apart from that, just tell yourself the email can wait. It seriously can, we have to let the mailbox do its job and hold on to things until we want to deal with them.

I just don’t! I have boundaries and my mental health is so important to me. Especially my morning alone time. If work starts creeping in my thoughts on Sunday, I shut them down immediately. If something happened to me, I’d be replaced and never thought about again within a week. So there’s that.

I started charging my phone in the kitchen overnight. It sounds small, but not having it by my bed makes it way easier to break the habit.

Hello friends l!! Each one of you can post the industry specific related jobs in the bowl!!

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home
