If this pandemic has caused you to start working from home for the first time, your first thoughts might have been, wow, be so much more productive. No more interruptions. And now you find actually there's just as many interruptions as possible. Here is the number one tool I use to enhance productivity. It's the number one app, if you want to call it that. It's called the power off button. Simply turning off your cell phone, not all day long, but for times when you really have to do important stuff. I literally pull the plug out of my computer so I have no Internet connection now. I do this from 9:15 to 12:15 every day so I can make online videos for courses. You might not be able to do it for three hours. Start with an hour. Start with a half an hour. But start with some time where the phone is off and your computer is not connected to the Internet.
