1. Sit at desk that i only do work at

2. Read three news lists that relate to work, HN is one of them, 15 min max, use timer

3 I keep a list of small housekeeping tasks (not real housekeeping, but small digital tasks), i start by ticking off one of those

4 At end of day i write down what i need to do next, I use that as the full focus task of the next day. I don't expect to be in full flow in first hour of task

I only read email twice a day, and most of my chat channels are on mute. I check them once an hour

this has worked well, been doing this for 30+ years

I'm kind of leaning to do the same things. Eliminating distractions is vital
