Skip the news until after lunch

Delay checking news headlines until the afternoon.

Why it helps

Constant news can raise worry before your day has even begun. Waiting may leave you calmer and more focused in the morning.

How to do it

1. Decide on a time, such as 1 pm.
2. Avoid news apps and sites until then.
3. Check once, then close it.

Make it easier

Wait until after breakfast.

Make it harder

Limit news to one ten-minute check a day.
