| - SelfControl app, you can change the timer to 1 month instead of 24 hours, so you are not forced to click it every morning. - Simple Pomodoro timer, which honestly I use more as a signal for me to get up and stretch my legs a bit. - Disabled all notifications on phone, macs. - Things as my todo list, simple and tells me what to focus on every day with recurring todo's. - Only really visit 3 websites: HN, Designer News & Stack overflow, tagging the interesting posts in the morning, then reading them on Kindle in the evening. Or sometimes between Pomodoro breaks, like now. - I block all the news websites and other useless information with Opendns. - Bought a Wacom pen and a mac so I can't play videogames. - Podcasts for when I'm doing the dishes, Spotify for when I'm doing work. - No mail, slack before 1pm, I'm most productive in the mornings. I read in Do The Work that the best thing is to not think, but just start. So I meditate in the morning and try to be completely free of thoughts when I arrive at work, sit down and just start. That was the single thing that made the biggest difference for me. Don't give The Resistance a chance. |
