I like to use a method called “Focus Sprints” to get into the groove of Deep Work.

The concept is simple: work distraction-free for 90 minutes straight, followed by a 20-minute break.

Rinse and repeat.

Focus Sprints, step by step:

1. Set a realistic 90-minute goal

2. Break down the time into bite-sized tasks

3. Turn off and get away from all distractions. Close your email. Turn off notifications. Close your door. Shut out the noise

4. Set a timer for 90 minutes and go

5. Once the sprint is complete, rest (undistracted) for 20 minutes

6. Repeat as many times as possible
