My checklist for getting focused work done: * decide what I'm going to do (I usually write a list). * prepare everything I need to get it done (ie, getting all my resources in one spot). * prepare everything I need to keep me going (eg, water, coffee, full batteries). * physically Isolate myself[1]. For me right now, this typically means going to a cafe, but it could just be another room, a spot on the lawn, anywhere. When I do this, I can happily work upwards of 4 hours on a single thing. Some other pointers: * I have music that I listen to when working (eg, ambient, house) that helps me focus and is distinct to the music I listen to recreationally (which I find it way too distracting). * I have an old sony xperia that I thrifted in Tokyo. It gives me everything I need (maps, banking, a translator) while being too sluggish to distract me. Note, I typically leave it at home if I'm going for a work sesh. [1] I travel a lot with work and have adapted to working exclusively from a laptop.
