4. Control Your Environment
Set up a space where distractions can’t reach you.
Example:
I cleared my desk, turned off my phone, and faced away from the window to avoid distractions.
Application:
Choose a clean, quiet place to work, and make it distraction-proof. Tell people you’re working so they don’t bother you. The more control you have over your environment, the better your focus will be.
