Mastering focus amid daily distractions?

👉 Blackout curtains 👈

- 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!

Scheduling my day! 100%. Calendars aren't just for meetings. I like to put the task I will work on at a certain time. Got to write a case study? Great, it's on my calendar for an hour at 10am. Planning the weekly social media? It's in for 4pm.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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.

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