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

My phone is always on silent mode so I wouldn't get distracted by notifications. I also tend to mute everything else on my computer, but that means that sometimes I don't see the work notification super fast.

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.

I minimize distractions by creating a focused work environment, using tools like “Do Not Disturb” mode, and setting clear boundaries for work time. Regular breaks help me stay on track.

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 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.

Minimize distractions during online jobs by setting a dedicated workspace, turning off non-work notifications, and scheduling focused work periods. This helps boost productivity and keep you on track!

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.
