Track your time, automatically. It is very easy to follow a rabbit hole. In a typical office, there is social pressure not to + even if you do so, it is likely that your rabbit hole journey gets interrupted. For that, there is obviously RescueTime (I use it with Custom New Tab URL Chrome plugin so that with each new tab I have an overview of the last hours), Qbserve (if you have macOS and prefer more privacy), and for open-source: https://activitywatch.net/ https://activitywatch.net/. At the same - book some hours without Slack or anything similar (unless you commit these hours to Slack, not deep work). (I am a freelancer. I mostly work from home. Sometimes I work from an office, and there is a stark difference of the pros and cons of both places.)
