Thank you so much for these straightforward instructions. I’ve been struggling with maintaining a balance between expanding my platform and maintaining my mental health.

The tip to direct messages to email was counterintuitive for me but great. I had been cutting off emails because I wanted as few notifications/distractions as possible — but then I’d find myself checking the apps more often to see if I’d gotten notifications. Then I’d spiral down a hole within the app. Redirecting messages and notifications in general to email might clutter my inbox but at least can provide me a contained environment to check all my notifications. Instead of refreshing apps all the time, I can just check email without spiraling down other posts. Thanks!
