What's your go-to concentration technique that actually works? Not the obvious stuff like 'turn off notifications' - I mean techniques you use daily.

Question

I've been struggling with focus lately and I'm curious about what actually works for people who manage to stay productive. I've tried the usual advice - Pomodoro technique, turning off notifications, working in quiet spaces. Some of it helps a bit, but nothing really stuck as a game changer.
So when you're really productive and concentrating well at work, how do you reach that state?
I'm especially interested in:

- Do you have a specific routine or ritual before starting work?

- Is it about the environment, mental tricks, or something else?

- What's the one thing you'd be completely lost without?
