How to stop getting distracted while working
The biggest distractions sit on the same screen as your work, a click away. Cutting distraction means removing what you can in advance and catching yourself fast on what slips through.
Why focus keeps breaking
Every notification and open tab is an invitation to switch, and each switch costs the slow climb back into the task. Most of the loss is not one big distraction but many small ones.
What helps
- Pre-close the obvious. Quit chat, silence the phone, shut spare tabs before you start.
- Single-task. One aim per block, not five.
- Batch the inputs. Check messages on a schedule, not on impulse.
- Catch the slip early so a quick drift does not become an hour.
Where aimlock.ai fits
