1. Mono-tasking. Really, this can't be emphasized at all. Right now I'm on HN, The Verge, Reader, my blog etc.. but when I work, everything (including email, funny remarks from the guy next to me) is muted. Oh, I work in chunks and that's why it's okay to mute everything else for that brief time..

2. Work Editorial: As a writer, a content editorial has helped AMAZINGLY. You can apply that elsewhere too.. start with a set of 3 tasks with 3 chunks of time and 2 breaks between them. Work editorial is like planning. Nothing new.. but it's a hack I desperately need. I guess many will do too.
