I'm surprised it's just your phone. I face all kinds of distraction from my laptop, and the most prominent are emails, Youtube and Twitter. Hard to run away from that. And various things work for me at various moments. Sometimes I just block these sites and news sites, and I can mostly work in peace. Yet not always, and then my concentration is usually doomed. Sometimes for the whole day. So I'm really glad that you found something that works for you!
Thanks! I think the phone is the strongest source of distraction simply because I'm in such a habit of having in in my hands all day long, regardless of whether I'm near a computer. Youtube used to be a big weakness for me as well, though not nearly as bad as the social media traffic that seems to compel me to just scroll and scroll.
