Mastering focus amid daily distractions?

Banning the phone from the desk and set a timer of 90 minutes deep work is my productivity lifehack. After every 90 minutes I do a break of 15 minutes.

Following everything in my todoist in order + listening to chill music like lofi helps keep me focused. If I have full clarity on exactly what i'm doing for the day then I don't get distracted

If you're a dev, look up "hill chart", a progress tracking tool invented by Basecamp. I use it to help me stay on top of deadlines. It changes how I prioritize pieces of work.

Stop checking PH every 2 mins. lol 😂 - I have to almost put my phone in a safe. I use micro-tasks to get things done. I write out everything I need to do and pick 3 things a day that are priority. Make a schedule for your personal time..then put in work time in the areas available that are free. That way you put familia first. Hope everything helps a bit.

- Put away my phone ( sometimes my colleagues get annoyed because of this as they never reach me lol but they can if they call me on Slack) - Block focus time slots ( I use the FlowFinitee app for this, I block focus slots and it's put immediately on my calendar and I can track how time I end up spending and on which apps, self-awareness is the first time to optimize) - Resist FOMO ( I don't have to answer every email or message I get at once, in fact, I turn off notifications to stay focused) - Share my calendar with my team ( so they have visibility of my schedule and know when I am focused to avoid distractions and postpone it to later) - Prioritizing my work!

The best way to make sure you accomplish your goals is to see them often Write your long term and daily goals on the lock screen of your phone. On a post-it and stick it on your screen. On the mirror of your bathroom. On the fridge. On a daily note you read everyday. ps: if you have vision pro, I guess you can create a giant banner...

I prioritize my tasks using the Eisenhower Matrix, Bren, and use a Pomodoro timer to work in short, focused bursts. Also, turning off notifications during these sprints is a game-changer for maintaining deep focus.

I keep classical music playing in the background - focus and calm in the workspace!

Lately, I've been practicing the "two-minute rule" – if a task takes less than two minutes to complete, I do it immediately to prevent it from becoming a distraction later on.

Normally, I wait to charge my phone till the first of the day, which works out well for me. I keep my phone for charge and work from a different room until my battery is 100%. I make an effort to incorporate these tiny things into my routine, and I set up a to-do list and work schedule on my calendar to assist me remember what needs to get done and when.

Focus better by pick your top 3 tasks each day and ignore distractions. Say no to multitask and put your phone away.

I usually keep my phone somewhere away, making it harder to reach it. Then a few must haves: 🎧 - noise canceling headphones ☕️ - good coffee 🎶 - music (either completely calm or super upbeat, depending on the tasks)
