#3. Remove All Notifications And Red Color Badges
You will not be able to fight distraction if your mobile screen is constantly pinging with what's happening, or your screen shows you how many messages you've missed!
Remove all of them. It should look like this, all the time.

MORE IDEAS ON THIS
#11. Setup distraction time
We crave distraction because it is the forbidden fruit.
Dopamine is addictive.
You could fight it by setting up a scheduled time to "waste time"
Our mind then anticipates it, instead of craving it.

#2. Put Time Limits On All Apps Where You Tend To Waste Time
Remember that we are trying to fight the best behavioral scientists in the world whose job is to keep us hooked to our apps.
Poor chance we will win.
Install time blockers!

#4. Wake up Slow
One of the worst things we do to ourselves is to wake up just in time for our day.
We feel rushed.
It disorients us. For the entire day.
The first thing I do is sip water for 15 mins.
No phone. No book. No music. No person.
Just me, water, and my thoughts.

#14. Maintain a routine
Nothing beats distraction than having a routine. The absence of which is you willingly giving away control of your day to external stimuli.

#12. Keep a journal for distracting thoughts
When we write we tell our brain that this is important.
Which is one of the best ways to get our mind off that thing.
So the next time you feel distracted, just write down that thought.

#5. Maintain Your Glucose Levels Sideways
If our glucose levels go down, we feel drained out of energy.
If they remain too high, we tend to overeat.

#1. De-clutter Your Mobile Home Screen
The mobile home screen is the biggest time sink of today.
I realized keeping my home screen minimal dramatically reduced my tendency to check apps with no prime purpose.
p.s- I'm using a productivity launcher since the start of this year and it's amazing!

#13. If anything can be done in 2 mins and needs to be done, do it.
Our mind is designed to focus on things that we haven't finished, as against things that we have.
Do not add to your pile of unfinished things.

#9. Restrict Information To Max 3 Sources
We are living in a world of information abundance. And the more sources you have of information, the more you will constantly be consuming, as against doing real work.

#6. Find your max energy period
We all have a zone where we are most productive.
Guard that period ferociously.
Schedule the toughest or most impactful things for that period.
For me, it is my mornings.
Reserved for the most important things with most of it thinking time

#7. Use Pomodoro Technique
A powerful way to keep your mind focused.
A 30-min slot is 1 pomodoro
25 mins of work
5 mins of break
Repeat
After 4 pomodoros, take a long 20-30 min break.
Download a Pomodoro timer - there are plenty of good ones.

#8. Do Not Try To Remember Anything
Your mind should be used to think.
Not to remember.
Use the calendar, emails, and notes app to record everything.
From to-do lists to reminders and beyond.
