What Jamie wrote

I like Newport’s practical advice here.

This points to an interesting question that I’ve seen discussed in some articles in recent days: what’s the best way to keep getting things done on truly distracting days?

My answer: don’t.

I think it makes sense. Instead of partially engaging and getting 10% of your output at 50% of your focus, a bad bargain for all, just acknowledge where your head is and align your plan for that.
