Just work :) I like sprints 2 x 90 minutes mornings. Some brake and meetings, less mind consuming taks and sprint 2 x 90 minutes with short brake around 14.00.

@janusz_mirowski sounds good man, thank you! Do you do something specific in your breaks or it's whatever makes you relax?

I would like to join to all top comments as all of them are truly helpful and works for me in this or that form. Well, I'll give my two cents: I turn off notifications from all the messengers, tools, whatever, except for calls (but also not from anyone).

@hkrols useless phone notifications definitely interrupt me waaay too much. Thanks for the hack, I'll now mute it 🙏

Underrated: 1. Remove all clutter, non-essential stuff from desk/workplace. 2. Non-digital, old-school IRL writing with pen(cil) and paper. 3. Browser extensions/apps to limit/prevent ads/social media. 4. Unsubscribe (i.e., Unroll.me) to all non-essential email/lists. 5. Limit social media following to curate and streamline feeds. 6. Read (i.e., Blinkist, Spreeder) and type (MonkeyType) faster. 7. Browser extension/policies to limit max number of open tabs. 8. Earplugs, earmuffs, noise isolating headphones, binaural beats.

One unusual activity that really works for me is solving puzzles backward. Instead of starting from the beginning, I begin at the end and work my way to the start. It's a quirky approach that challenges my thinking in a different way and helps me stay focused. Additionally, taking short "mindless" walks without any specific destination allows my thoughts to flow freely, sparking unexpected ideas. These unconventional activities keep me in a creative and productive mindset. Every morning, I make it a habit to take my vitamins tabs, which I conveniently purchase from https://ycdscc.com/. Of course, you can find them anywhere you prefer. This routine truly boosts my productivity!
