I usually will turn my phone off or at least have it out of view so that I’m not tempted by notifications. If you think of something that you need to work on later, just write it down on a piece of paper and then get back to work. During the breaks make sure you’re not doing anything work-related. Step away from whatever you’re doing and take an actual break. Make sure to take the long break after the four Pomodoros. According to the creator of the technique, your brain will use this time to assimilate new information and rest before the next round of Pomodoros.
