Pathway to productivity for the digitally distracted

As you start to read this, your curious mind will start to tip toe into action. Quietly at first ‘has someone emailed?’, then a little louder ‘You’d better check your Twitter feed in case you have a retweet/mention’ and then when it can’t get your attention it’ll start getting louder and louder, ‘check you phone battery just in case’ and on and on it goes until you give in, or not as the case

may be if you know that it’s up to some skulduggery.

Turn off notificationsDo you really need notifications pinging on your device when you are at your machine? Be strict and you’ll be amazed at how much you can get done before you realise you have forgotten to check your ‘silent’ phone.
