Pomodoro Technique.
If I set clear checkpoints/tasks i dont get distracted in any way. But if even I don't know what to do, then I'm looking for a reason to be distracted.
I minimize distractions by setting clear work blocks with focused tasks and using tools like website blockers. I also create a dedicated workspace and set boundaries with colleagues to maintain concentration and productivity.

@madelyn_wright It's incredible how setting boundaries and taking regular breaks can boost productivity.
Do you have a favorite break activity that helps you reset?
I use CodeClimbers, which helps me stay in Deep Work!
Same strategy here! I turn off Slack notifications, put my phone in another room, and use a website blocker to stop me from checking social media. Taking regular stretch breaks away from screens helps too. It's all about creating focused blocks of time to knock out deep work.
I minimize distractions by setting clear boundaries with colleagues and scheduling focused work blocks without interruptions. I also use tools to block non-essential notifications and create a clutter-free workspace to maintain concentration and productivity.

I keep my workspace organized and free of uncessary items. Having a dedicated, clutter-free area helps me stay on task.
Still a problem for me 🤣I always get distracted after opening youtube for finding a video solution but ending up watching 2 hours shorts or Entertainment videos.
Did some thing but still struggling. Example
- Removed entertainment videos from youtube recommendation videos
- Deleted Instagram and tiktok
But still struggling bro

@shayan_ali_bakhsh, I feel you! 😂 It's a constant battle. Setting a timer or using focus apps like Forest or StayFocusd might help keep the distractions at bay. Keep fighting the good fight!
I guess putting your mobile near your working desk. For me just that works because after a point I just tend to forget everything and focus on my work. Though, there are many apps nowadays that will block unnecessary apps and makes things easier for you.

The only thing that works for me is removing myself completely from the distraction!
Am I sleepy? Stay far away from the couch.
Am I itching to doomscroll? Turn off my cell phone.
Am I getting too distracted by chores? Go to a coffee shop.
You get the idea.
I have a cup with a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign that I keep on my desk.
Put the phone in another room :)
