One of the biggest factors is having large chunks of uninterrupted time. If your manager and team value deep work, having no meetings days can be a huge help.

And once you have an uninterrupted time block, it's important to ignore potential interruptions. I find this extremely difficult.

What are some good strategies if they don't?

If you really need to get some work done, calling in a fictitious sick day once in a while isn't the worst solution.

If it's not the _worst_ solution, it's pretty close. When you're really sick you should be resting, not working.
