Part of it you won't be able to fix by making changes to your device, because its you. You can take away all the distractions, but you're a human being, you will be looking for them at some point and you need to be able to stop yourself at that time. For me, the following has helped: * Turn off all notifications, that means on all devices. * Leave your phone in silent mode, better yet hide the screen from your view so you don't see incoming notifications * Log out of any social media, for me having to log in and do 2FA again is usually the barrier where I remember why I was logged out in the first place * People have said it but set your dock on auto-hide, you can also turn off the red dots on most applications * Tons of apps now allow you to go full screen, some writing apps are super minimal, so you really only see text. * I use a pomodoro timer if I need real focus, there's videos on YouTube that will also just run 45 mins then have 15 minute break, though that might be too distracting an environment initially.
