Discussion on: How I learned to be more productive with my workdays

I adopted several techniques of 'deep work' pretty succesfully:

• plan every day in advance. i plan 1 hour intervals (minimum) for everything. no matter how 'short' anything is, it takes a while to get back in a state of concentration, so shorter intervals don't make sense for me.
• when work-hours are over, i compile a list of todos for tomorrow. then i power off the computer and don't look back. winding down and relaxing is so important.
• i uninstalled slack from my phone and turned of every push notification. only thing that makes the damn thing vibrate is when someone calls me.
• alloted time slots for async communication
