> and check your email more than once a day when you don't really need to... stop doing that.

I'm genuinely curious, what sort of white-collar jobs exist where you can only check your email once a day?

YMMV, but I do marketing and communications at a startup with a small team that's used to working asynchronously. We get a lot done on Discord, I admit. But I check in a couple of times a day, on my schedule, and I don't have any notifications unless I'm actively looking at Discord. Email, well, I rarely have incoming messages that I need to respond to immediately as opposed to within 24-hours-ish.

i’ve got coworkers who ought to be checking their email but i’m pretty sure they never have.

they just make you tell them everything in meetings.
