Switch off email notifications and check emails just two or three times a day; keep emails succinct and avoid 'Replying to All'. Don't look at your emails first thing. Instead, complete important/urgent tasks. Set aside short bursts of time (15-20 mins max) for responding to emails unless it's core to your job; use folders to organise emails.
