There’s nothing wrong necessarily with starting your day with your phone and your emails, but it just often backfires. Say somebody wakes up and starts reading emails. They immediately start feeling stressed, thinking about all the things they have to get done, and then they start their day feeling like they’re already behind. That’s not working. On the flip side, though, if someone starts off their day reviewing their calendar or notifications and it helps them feel organized — if they say, “OK, I’ve got my plan for what I want to do”, … then that’s working for them.
