FOCUS ON SINGLE-TASKING.
Think of “multitasking” as a buzzword you don’t need to practise every time you’re at work. Single-tasking — or the process of focusing on one thing at a time — makes folks feel much less distracted and allows us to better deal with the task at hand.

USE TEXT OR WORKFLOW APPS FOR URGENT ISSUES.
If you can encourage management to quit using email for time-sensitive or critical information, you can resist the impulse to refresh your email at all hours of the day and night. Think of the stress you’ll avoid when you’re not checking your work email when you’re off the clock.
