Ask HN: How do you focus during the workday?

I made a video about my approach here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hMVy4aKEZ4
But the gist of it is, you need to block distractions and be present in the moment, focusing on the task at hand. When I'm not feeling it, I use the Pomodoro Technique to get me started. Once the initial inertia is gone, I can keep going even without the technique.

One option I'm considering is converting as much of my work as possible to offline. I've already deleted social media, but even still, I find myself getting more and more creative with ways to distract myself on my laptop during the workday (for example: Posting this right now).
Wanted to feel out the community here, many of whom are in a similar position, to understand if others have struggled with this and any strategies available to me/education on the matter.
