A trick from my PhD days: start the day with one to two hours of concentrated work. Don't look at your email or news or anything until you've done that.
This worked fabulously for me because it allowed me to "swap in" my work enough that I could avoid distractions.
And yes, I have ADHD.

- riehwvfbk 2y agoA therapist suggested this idea to me. Figure out when is your most productive time of the day (usually). Just two or 3 hours. OK, those are now your sacred hours. No procrastination or distractions allowed. Seems simple but it works.
- larsrc 2y agoThat can also work, unfortunately my most productive time tends to be at the end of the day. I find that what you start the day with sets the theme for the day.
