I’m not trying to plug any brand or anything, but I have found that Brick app to be helpful. Just lock my guilty pleasure apps before leaving for work and I’m essentially left with an expensive Nokia cell phone during the day.

Another thing I find helpful is actually defining what “productivity” means. Trying to achieve a goal without knowing what that goal is results in an excessive amount of failures. For me, it’s 80% efficiency when I’m in. If I’m there 10 hours, I sure better be getting an 8.0 for the day. Helps me cut down on the water cooler breaks, going out for a long lunch, and other non-billable avenues.

Put my phone on grayscale and do not disturb/work mode, and move it out of arm’s reach. But am thinking of getting Brick.

Lock cell phone in my car. Only use desk phone.

Absolutely. I don’t always lock my cell phone in the car, but when I do I’m shocked at my productivity lol.

I play the same instrumental song on repeat when I’m working (helps with not realizing how much or how little time has passed). If I start scrolling, I stop the song. I only want to associate the song with working (like I’m a dog or something). The pomodoro method also helps when it’s a real struggle. 25 min work, 5 min break. I also try to accomplish small tasks first in the morning and save the afternoon for longer tasks.
