Three things work for me

- keeping my phone downstairs

- my amazing new noise cancelling headphones

- only having the relevant files open on my laptop

Valid points.

We must discover our own "creative cocoon (Goleman. FOCUS)" if we wish to find/do our best creative work.

One challenge is in frontline work. Individuals/leaders still believe multitasking is a legitimate skill (the brain literally cannot do two things successfully at once. It is mental juggling at best). We can't tell our clients to leave us alone and still stay in business. We have to follow a "cover and move (Willink and Babin. EXTREME OWNERSHIP)" approach, and execute.

Thank you for your time.
