How to avoid distraction working on a laptop if you're a copywriter

For me it has always been hard to avoid distractions while working.

I am a wannabe copywriter, and ofter I've been discovering myself in need of one or two info that I need to include in a piece but I didn't remember.

Subsequently I used to open Linkedin or Gmail to check that mail or chat when I was sure to find it, but then I usually started bingewatching

So here's what I did

    1. Create a Google Drive folder to put in outstanding info

    0

    2. deciding in advance what to include in the copy piece

    0

    3. using internet to search for those info

    0

    4. Collecting all material in one place

    0

    5. blocking timers on linkedin and gmail

    0

    6. saving screenshots

    0

    7. turning off notification

    0

    8. respond to emails and messages in advance

    0

    9. ignore those emails (requires mindfulness)

    0

    10. writing with pen and paper

Thanks for sharing. One quick question: do you have a recommendation on how to block timers on facebook and LinkedIn? Do you mean to use an app like freedom or do you have another way to put timer?

just set a timer of 5 minutes on your phone or using another browser tab: when it expires you'll wake up from bingewatching, and start working again
