Turn your alarms off.

I hate being interrupted when I am doing something. Either by the sound of the phone, or, more importantly, by the sound of things like the GMAIL Notifier. I long ago stopped using that thing because I found it turned me into too much of a Pavlovian Dog. Every time I would hear the bell ring I would salivate at the idea of a new email - even while I was in the middle of reading a text or watching a video.

As a result I check my email constantly, but that is only in between pages being loaded. Saves times and ensures peace of mind in our, as my friend Dejan at the Academy calls it, "Hyperpostmodern" world.
