Kirstin:  This is advice I definitely need to learn from, email in-boxes can be very stressful little things, and from my experience the urge to jump from one email to another is too tempting.  Some days it feels like my in-box is screaming at me.  Definitely going to take this advice into my workplace and learn to build some creative work time that does not require me to click on ‘open’ first thing each morning http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2013/07/28/experts-agree-dont-start-the-day-by-answering-your-email/
