Change your behaviour by making it harder / more involved to access the distracting apps you need: - use slack in the browser so you need to type in its address You can think of other creative things like: - use automation to only allow mail when some other app is running so now you start two apps? - run messages under a second user account? - slower browser in a vm for social media sites? The sky is the limit. The key is to make it still possible to use the app, just more involved, breaking the habit. The final advice from me is to write down what you are going to do and write down the currrbt situation and the approach you’re going to take, then all that’s left to do is act on it which sets up a nice internal focus mode
