During working hours I try to keep my focus and track my deep work sessions using the below tools;

• Keep a daily tally of 30-minute focus sessions using pen and paper according to Cal Newport’s’ advice. My personal minimum target is a total of 90 minutes per day.
• Use Forest app to keep me from touching my phone for any reason while also growing trees as a proof of my focus. I highly recommend this app.
• Turn on Do Not Disturb Mode on my phone.
• Turn off Bluetooth so my smart watch won’t buzz.
• Use noise cancellation headset.
• Play music with no lyrics, just instrumental music.

The below are other tools I use that I pay some premium for , but totally worth it:

• Brain.Fm which plays certain type of music to enhance focus that we can time for 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2 hours. whenever I start a deep work session, I play Brain Fm.
• Momentum browser extension is beautiful and most features are free. The one I want to highlight was recently added for plus users; the Pomodoro Timer, where users can customize timers for focus and break sessions, I like it.

I hope you get to try some of the these tools to keep your attention on the task at hand. This matters, and we need to get serious about how we allocate our attention. It is as limited as our time.
