Ask HN: How do you deal with mail anxiety?
2 by throwawaynay | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I often wait hours before opening some important mails because I'm stressed about the content. And the more important mails I have to open during the day, the more I'm drained of my mental capacity to handle this stress. I don't know if this is a crazy idea, but I thought about using sentiment analysis AI to read my mails before me, and tell me how positive or negative each message is without opening them first, so I can choose when I want to read bad news. Or sort my mails by priority. Do you think that might be useful? or do you have better low tech solutions to that problem?(besides CBT, weed or xanax)
