To enable deep work, I've started incorporating offline sessions (1 hour long on average) into my day ("offline pomodoros").

I only go back online when I need a mental break or when I'm completely blocked.

It seems to help with productivity and improve my well-being.

I've also got a second used phone which I use for work purposes (e.g. 2FA, Calendar reminders and production alerts) to reduce distractions. I don't find the work phone's presence to be distracting.
