The Developer’s Guide to Focus in a World of Noise
5/13/2025By Mohamed Amine
As devs, we’re bombarded with distractions — Slack pings, GitHub issues, and endless tabs.
But your best work happens in flow. Here’s how I protect focus:\n
- Time block distraction-free coding hours
- Use noise-canceling headphones + deep house playlists
- Work offline when possible
- Batch meetings and context switches\n
Deep work compounds. One hour of flow beats three hours of context-switching. If you want to ship faster, protect your attention like it's gold.
