So when I start the deep work habit I set it aside. I leave the app to play because the sounds are soothing.  This way whenever my impulse is about to reach the phone the sound calms me and also reminds me that I set the phone aside<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arianna G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I keep a notebook and write down the tasks I have to do as I do them.  Something about the writing things down and checking boxes makes things happen.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Klaus Ulrich A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Set aside time when I don&#39;t have other commitments. Get trivial things out of the way so I&#39;m not tempted to do them. Go to the loo first and have a drink nearby.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nolan E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Make a detailed plan of what you need to get done so you can stay on track. I recommend putting the hardest task first and the easiest last. Remove ALL distractions from your environment. Set goals and reward yourself for each goal e.g. if I finish this section I get to eat lunch \ud83d\ude02<br \/>\nGood luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karen P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start by committing to just one session per day. Have a piece of paper and a pen nearby to track any unrelated thoughts you encounter during your session. With practice, you will see that the list becomes shorter<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kasimir C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">So far, my best two approaches have been to either use my deep work time to do something that I\u2019ve been wanting to do for some time, or to do work on things that are pressing concerns for me. By using my scheduled deep work sessions set aside for either of these, I find it easier to not procrastinate because either I am really looking forward to getting to do the work, or because I\u2019m on a deadline and I find time constraints very motivating.<\/p>\n<p>I also think that it can be important to consider why I\u2019m procrastinating on certain things, especially those that I have set up for my deep work sessions. If, for example, I\u2019m finding it difficult to get started, or I\u2019m avoiding the session entirely, that tells me one thing; I\u2019m probably either unsure where to start or I\u2019m avoiding the task as a form of mood repair, because I\u2019m exhausted or in pain.  On the other hand, if I\u2019m getting into my session and then find myself drifting from the task, then that\u2019s a totally different issue. Maybe I need to evaluate whether this is the best thing for me to be doing as my deep work.<\/p>\n<p>One final thing that helps me not procrastinate on deep work is to actually always do the \u201cset up\u201d that Fabulous recommended; I have a special set of coffee and tea that I only get to make and enjoy as a part of doing my deep work. By adding in a \u2018treat\u2019 at the very start, I usually find it easier to settle in to whatever the plan was for my deep work session.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Villads A.
