One of the most common recommendations on how to work more productively is to turn off all notifications for incoming messages on your phone and computer. Some recommendations are even more radical, and advise completely uninstalling e-mail and social networks from your mobile phone.

A more efficient method was described by Chris Bailey, a Canadian experimenter in productivity and time management.
