The thing I've find most helpful in focusing is blocking deep focus time into my calendar. I will not be taking meetings during this time, and this is going to be part one of several outcomes I've committed to achieve this week.

It has helped me too. That and avoiding the urge to respond to Teams messages, I set a "Focusing" time or sometime, more drastically, I close the application.

Thanks for sharing, Vincent!

I hope that GenAI will help us to get back our focus by being a super-notification engine (e.g: once per hour I get a summary of the urgent notifications and once per day the lower priority ones).

Great advice and resources! Definitely trying the “pacts” and see what happens. But what has work the most to me is time blocking and timers
