Founder with ADHD here! I ran into this issue a bunch at my previous job as well. The notifications were always going off and detracting me from doing the actual work. There were two things I did, and do now, that have worked for me:
1. Similar to you, I muted my notifications and opened slack a few times a day.
2. I paired up with someone else to focus on the task at hand (like with Double[0]). I was able to ignore the pings, if they came through, because I felt more accountable to the person I was on the line with than the pings.
Your mileage may vary on these, so I would definitely encourage a bit of experimentation!

- nashashmi 4y agoLol. Self plug without the disclaimer. Shame.
- WheelsAtLarge 4y agoI'm not thrilled with the plug but he makes sense. It's good advice.
