Mine are quite simple :

  • I have deleted my facebook account since one year now.

  • I switch off my smartphone from 9am-5pm so no WhatsApp distraction or social media in working hours and keep it out of reach of my hands during that time.

  • I drink a lot of water while working so that I can go to the toilet every one hour, it helps me to relax.

  • Always have my headphone even if I'm not listening to music.

  • I'm using Habitlab plugin to track the time I spend on websites. I have set it up to not allow me to spend more than 5 minutes on Twitter

  • Of course, disabling my notifications

Headphones without music - the same for me. It helps me to isolate and focus. Larger headphones = stronger "he is busy right now" in others minds :D
