Negative psychological effect deleting junk email

A psychological effect of the "junk email" is getting noticable now. It does not look like a healthy effect; and is likely other people are experiencing it too.

In the morning when activating computer for start of day, typically a dozen or so junk emails have made it through the computer's junk mail filter, which took out many dozens more junk email already. So I have to go through and "delete", or send to "junk mail" those dozen junk emails, which involves reading their sender and subject line to determine if it is junk.

So my mind gets filled first thing in morning with statements like "Avoid enhancement pills" "paternoster averred vampire", "Unfinished transfer of fund", "RESPONSE NEEDED", "WINNING NOTIFICATION !!!" and "Be the "biggest" out of all your friends." And selecting "delete delete delete" is not a positive start for day either.

Checking email is necessary so as to be advised of something that needs attention right away in the morning ... as well as throughout the day too.

Deleting the junk email does not just take time out of my day's productivity, but it also appears to add a negative influence on my responses ... not a strong effect, but is on the wrong side of the scales for one's optimum performance.
