How To Give It Your All at Work?

WSO community - how often do you stroll the internet/use your phone during the workday, and how do you limit the usage? It seems like we can get distracted reading every news publication such as Bloomberg, NYT, WSJ, FT etc. or browse WSO threads, reddit, twitter, newsletters podcasts etc.

How do you tell yourself to stop reading every article that comes your way and just give your utmost focus on your job? Any tricks or advice? Is there a certain time in the day where you quickly check your phone and have the time to lurk on WSO? Basically, I feel like everything online can hinder our productivity and I want to know how to just WORK without getting FOMO on all the information and news (current events).

Thanks!
