hyperfocus

There are many apps available that 
cut you off from distractions.
A few 
of my favorites for computer 
are Freedom (paid, though 
there’s a free trial—Windows, 
Mac, iPhone, iPad), Cold 
Turkey (free, though there’s a 
paid version
—Windows, Mac, 
Android), and RescueTime 
(paid, though there’s a free 
trial
—PC, Mac, Android, Linux). 
Most of these cost a few dollars 
a month for the pro version, but 
you’ll earn that money back in 
increased productivity. The research backs this up: people who deploy 
distraction blockers are more productive and focus for longer periods of time. 

If your workplace restricts what apps or plug-ins you can install on your computer

consider either unplugging the Ethernet cable or completely shutting off your 
computer’s WiFi. This sounds extreme, but we spend a lot of our internet 
time procrastinating. 

Get out of the office.
If you work in a more flexible office environment, you might 
find a distraction-free mode can incorporate working out of the coffee shop 
downstairs or in a meeting room. 

Be thoughtful and don’t underestimate (or overestimate) the social costs of your 
distraction-free mode.
Consider the effects of shutting yourself off from your 
coworkers, especially if your workplace is a social environment. At the same 
time, don’t 
over
estimate the social costs: while you might feel guilty closing 
your email client for thirty minutes, remember that your clients and coworkers 
frequently wait an hour or two for you to respond when you’re caught in 
meetings. This is a lesson I’m relearning constantly: as a general rule, your 
coworkers need you a lot less than you think they do. 

Treat yourself.
After I’ve completed a hyperfocus session and I leave my 
distraction-
free mode, I’ll occasionally treat myself to an all-you-can-eat 
buffet of distractions. Research shows that the more impulsive you are, the 
more stressed you become by blocking yourself from distractions. If you do 
have little self-
control, or if you’re impulsive, indulging in the odd distraction 
break can be beneficial. (Side note: impulsiveness is also the character trait 
most highly correlated with procrastination.) I also usually indulge a cup of 
matcha or coffee before entering back into my distraction-free mode, which 
positively reinforces my behavior to focus more deeply. 
W
e’re only beginning to understand how traits such 
as conscientiousness, neuroticism, and impulsiveness 
work together to determine how distractible we are. 
These traits also determine how much stress the use of 
distraction blockers may cause. If you find you become 
anxious with a blocker enabled, you may decide that 
you want to resort to using it only when you’re working 
on a task that’s especially onerous or when you have 
less energy (and therefore less of an ability to resist 
distractions).
