Do you know why you open it so often? 

Aside from what @july suggested, disable all notifications and app badges. In short, remove auditory and visual cues that cause you to check. If it’s FOMO, block the app and schedule times to go through email.

Create / make a machine that electrically shocks you whenever you open your email or Warpcast for that matter

So tough, it’s like price checking… for mobile, the usage limits help… desktop, ya gotta go into focus mode and time block email to be morning/afternoon windows, I think. Just my 2 cents tho.

Make a to-do list for the day and stick to it.

Delete the app/close the browser/disable notifs ser
