  Author here: Glad you asked I laid out 4 tips that have helped me focus better. I purposely made 2 of the 4 tips directed directly at myself. I create the most interruptions to my day. My team has worked together to reduce unnecessary interruptions (see tip 1) as a courtesy to help me with my bad habits. The key point here is small interruptions are okay, but often not worth it, because I'll go off and do something else. If I could easily bounce back to what I was doing, I'd be much less frustrated at the interruption. My frustration lies with my inability to quickly go back to what I was working on, not the interruption itself. Notice that I'm not passing the blame at others, I know my weakness. If I open chrome to check Slack, I'm gonna check HN, I'm gonna look at my email. This is something I need to work on personally
