Now for a little advice: PUH-LEASE, take time over the holidays to unplug. Do whatever it is that helps you de-stress. Limit time on your device so you can enjoy time with family and friends. If you need some tips on limiting screen time, you can look back at my post here. Another tip I have for you is to take a break from your email inbox. If you're like me, you receive a lot of emails every day. Granted, this count will go down over break because teachers aren't in session, but it's likely I'll still be receiving blog posts, product updates, even emails from companies just saying Merry Christmas. To truly take a break from my inbox, I'll be pausing it. There is a Chrome extension called Boomerang for Gmail. This extension has several features, one of which is to pause your inbox indefinitely, or until scheduled times. I will be scheduling my emails to come each day at a certain time, so I am not distracted throughout my break with that familiar *ding* of emails on my phone. You have to set up Boomerang on a laptop or desktop computer, but once done, it should work on your phone email app as well. See below for a video on the feature, and click here to install it and set it up. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. See you next year!
