How to Get More Done at Work

A friend of mine was really struggling with this. He said, you know, what am I doing wrong? I just can't get anything done. And so he had all these like alerts set up to be notified when things happen in his personal life messages from friends, from family. So basically he showed up at work and surrounded himself with non work distractions and then spent the whole day being distracted. It's nice to just once in a while step back and say, all right, what's all the crap that's getting in my face every day?
