Email Anxiety. I've Had It.

Thanks to Sully, we see this article about the anxiety of checking email constantly:
...think of a time you didn't check your email for a week. If you're like me, you probably opened your email expecting lots of exciting news – a sum of all the excitement you experience with each individual email. But actually, a week's worth of email isn't very exciting. The interest that email generates as you see it arriving in your inbox is an illusion generated by hyperbolic discounting. 
This of course reminds you of my own pathetic ass from several years ago. Ugh. What a fucking pansy.
