How do you limit distractions?
The interviewer wants to make sure that you can reduce distractions and be effective at getting the job done. Describe specifically how you stay focused and on task whether you're working in the office or remotely.
"I have a designated workspace set up in my home for when I work remotely. As far as when I'm on my laptop, I designate time each week as "focus time" and during this time, I mark myself as do not disturb on Teams and I exit my email. I notify my manager each week of these blocks of time so she knows to text me if anything urgent comes up while I'm in these periods of focus offline."
"I typically keep my phone on silent and only check it during my designated breaks. I also notify my coworkers when I plan to be in focus mode and may even put headphones on at my desk, so others know that I'm not available to chat."

I have a distraction-free setup to work. Also, I leave my phone away when I am working and prioritize the tasks that I have for the day every morning or the night before.
