Could you elaborate a bit more about how it makes you more productive? (and maybe also elaborate on what your field of work is)

Hopefully my answer to your other comment makes sense. If not, let me know!

(I do programming, trading, consulting).

EDIT: Thought of one more thing... Immersive environments also help. Blocking out what's around me and escaping to, say, the top of a volcano or Mount Hood or Yosemite, increases my focus, esp. for deep work

Thanks a lot!
