What You Don't Know Can't Distract You

Make sure you have turned off alerts from aps. You really don't need to know a baseball score or most headlines in the middle of a workday when you are trying to focus. If someone is calling you, it might be a colleague who really does need your quick input on something. Most of us pick up our phones every 30 minutes or so. The goal is to get to the end of those 30 without having distracted yourself for anything that is not worth distracting yourself for.
