What's your hack for staying focused?

Question

Hey there, what's your hack or tip for staying focused on one thing and getting things done?

Personally, it helps me a lot to switch my phone to airplane mode, or to set do not disturb mode and focus only on the one given thing that I need to do.

What are your tips?

- Phone on focus mode
- Take short breaks consistently throughout the day (and try to avoid screens during that time)
- Playlists that keep me focused (Lo-fi, Cafe de Paris, etc)

It's kind of random. But mainly being tired of staying static and not doing anything. Then I'll go on like a month long rampage with getting stuff done and updated/improved for my product.

Picking one task at a time and not shifting till it's done. If I abandon it due a blocker then it goes to the back of the list and gets picked in FIFO
@neeraj_kumar_n - your views?

Not much of a hack, but making a list of things I need to get done this week. Then sending it to my manager or someone on my team. It gives me the accountability I need to do the stuff I need to get done.
