Completely agree. I've found in my workflow and my friends' that when you go an sit down to accomplish this and get in flow state, it's very easy to be distracted especially when the task is digital. Every tab switch, every prolonged digging for some some data or sentence in my emails, old tabs, a document, the context switches keep chipping away at my focused state. Do you have experience/thoughts on this?
that makes a lot of sense, all reminder or notes app are cluttered on apps and screens fighting for attention with all the other apps. apart from like a to-do usage, do you think working more with physical paper and writing things down helps accelerate or sustain deep work because of this?
do you ever have trouble locking in for those focused work sessions? I've tried pomodoro a few times and maybe it's just my adhd but too much willpower always goes into the context switching back from "play" to "work" and also all the information oversaturation that occurs while my do my work
can't go wrong with writing stuff down, it's my ideal go to notetaking. but other than the physical mind-muscle connection it provides, is there any other advantage?
have you used Raycast Focus? if so what were your experiences with it? From my experiences, just setting some timer and blocking some apps are a superficial way to try to force yourself to focus and aren't super productive.
On days you know you must focus/get some crucial piece of work done, what does your setup and process look like?
