What's worked really well for me is keeping my phone in a drawer close to my desk, with all notifications turned off except calls from my contacts. I also have an Apple Watch which only notifies me if someone is calling.

I am noticeably more focused / less anxious with my phone put away. Meditation (Headspace app) helps a lot too when my mind feels "noisy".
