To eliminate distractions while working, start by batch-checking emails and messages at predetermined times instead of responding immediately. This will help you regain control of your day and minimize interruptions from constant notifications [1][4]. Setting specific times for focused work and avoiding multitasking can also enhance your productivity; it typically takes over 20 minutes to refocus after an interruption [5][6].

Create a distraction-free environment by using noise-canceling headphones or relocating to a quieter space. Communicate your need for focused time to colleagues using visible signals, such as a 'Do Not Disturb' sign or by closing your office door [6], and implement scheduled breaks to maintain your mental clarity [4].
