I just want to add 2 thoughts to the discussion that's already here: - Attention is a muscle you have to train and build up (of course it helps to be able to work on interesting and/or challenging things) - The world is infinitely distracting and if you think about it, almost everything is noise. Today's apps are literally designed to capture, own, and monetize your attention. The most successful people are the ones that stop to think about what to ignore intentionally so that they can focus on tweaking the small number of levers that actually drive results. I like to work with my phone on Do Not Disturb mode or Airplane mode. I keep Slack and Notification Center on macOS on DND as well when I'm doing hard work.
