I'm really big on batching work. It's where you do similar tasks all at once and hyper-focus on those tasks before moving on to another one. I also will shut off notifications on everything when I need to do deep work.

I also like going into work super early in order to work on personal stuff so that I don't hit traffic on the way in. (My commute goes from 20 mins to 1.5 hrs if I leave late). I also stay late for the same reason.

As far as apps go, I love Google Inbox (RIP), TweetDeck, TicTic for todos, and text expander for responding to similar messages. In addition, I don't really do phone notifications other than text/call.
