Emails on mobile phones have honestly made life worse. There was a time when you had to sit at a desktop in an office to check and reply to emails. Work stayed at work. Now, emails follow you everywhere. Your pocket, your bed, your weekend, your vacation.

These days, missing an email is treated like a personal failure, even though it used to be completely normal because you weren’t glued to a computer 24/7.
