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.

Phone on airplane mode, and in another room. I do that for 6-12 hours every day.
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.
