Definitely put the phone on silent mode, not even vibrate. Also, I use website blockers to restrict access to distracting sites during work hours. The Forest app helps me stay focused too - you grow virtual trees while you work distraction-free, but if you leave the app, your tree dies. Gotta keep those trees alive! 🌳😄

Turn off your phone.

Two screens changed everything - one for deep work, one for all the 'urgent' stuff. When I'm heads down, second screen goes dark. Not revolutionary, but it's honest about how my brain works. Sometimes the basic fixes work best.

My workspace is very minimal because I know clutter can distract me. I keep only the things I need for my current task on my desk

I let people know when I’m in deep focus mode and use tools like “Do Not Disturb” to limit notifications. This helps keep interruptions at bay.

Mobile in silent mode. Not even vibration mode.

I use the Pomodoro technique. I use a focus application with 25‘ / 5’ slots. During the 25' all notifications are off
