They Protect Their Flow

Highly productive people know the importance of deep work—the uninterrupted focus that allows them to excel at complex tasks. To achieve this, they guard their flow state fiercely by eliminating distractions like emails, social media, and notifications.

They might use tools like Opal to block apps during focus periods or schedule specific times for checking emails. For example, a writer may set aside two hours every morning for uninterrupted work on their manuscript, ensuring they make progress without external interruptions. Protecting their flow helps them achieve peak productivity.
