““Turn off your wireless router (if you’re working on a deep work task that doesn’t require the Internet). • Play music or white noise that you feel helps you stay focused (see small action #9). • Wear a pair of headphones if you work in an office (do this even if you don’t listen to music, so you’ll have a barrier around the people who like to interrupt you). • Tell coworkers (and family members) that you shouldn’t be disturbed during this time unless it’s an emergency. • Use any of the tools mentioned in small action #6 to block the distractions on your computer. • Set a timer where you work at a priority task without taking a break. (My preference is the Pomodoro Technique, which I’ll talk about in a bit.)””
