For me it's a matter of managing distractions, and also embracing the fact that I have a solid 1-3 hour window per day where I can accomplish deep focus work. If I miss it it's gone, and that happens some days but it's ok. That amount varies per person for sure, but 1-2 hours of deep focus per day is a reasonable goal for me. When I need to focus I'll switch my computer to a single task. Phone goes on DND and all interruption generators are closed (email, chat, etc.). I'll sketch out a basic checklist of what "done" looks like, and use that to get started. Sometimes I'll get in the zone and keep going beyond what I listed out, sometimes I have to end early and resume later. That's what works for me. The most important part for me is planning out what I want to get done and then making a space to do it. Sometimes it's a physical space, too. I'll make a list, and head to a coffee shop to work on it.
