"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 will I'm in these periods of focus offline."

"I have a designated workspace at home that is distraction free from family and pets. During my workday, my family limits disruptions, so that I can remain focused. I use a noise-canceling headset and I typically keep my personal cell phone on silent and only check it during my designated breaks. If there are projects I need to focus on, I will let my team members know that I will be on do not disturb on teams and will get back to them at the end of my distraction-free period."
