Whilst @ work, I try the following: __Stayfocusd -> Nuclear option (blocks access to websites you identify as blocked. 2-3 hour sprints is what I attempt) __Switcheroo (I redirect multiple click-bait news websites that I involuntarily type to HN) __Use 'Distraction Free' mode on editors I use for programming (IDE / TextEditor - e.g. SublimeText) __RescueTime (to reflect on how it all turned out) __I mute conversations in apps that permit it
