For me it's about blocking everything else, blocking hacker news/reddit/youtube is a huge productivity thing for me, so deciding that I am not going to be part of social media and i'm going to centre my life around the things I want to be and creating as many big time blocks to focus on that as I can. The rest of the time is for me to be more playful, but in order to do anything, I need chunks of focused, clear time.
Noise cancellation headphones, binaural beats / focus music and a timer. Then I shut the rest of the world out and just work on what I need to work on.
I'm a pretty chaotic person with my thoughts, so I have to make the choice to focus on something for set hours and then I try to stay as focused as I can during that time and then have unfocused time when I can do whatever I want/indulge my thoughts and curiosity.

My biggest one is time blocking.
