Great article Phil - This is close to my heart for me. Distractions and always-on culture is impacting everyone, some of these techniques resonate well with myself. In the last month or so I shut down all notifications around me to entirely focus on work, because constant On states kill creativity and learning focus hence... Not ideal for my job and life.
But I like also what you said about making space for yourself and recharge so you can engage and refreshingly see others... When I try to squeeze in meetings with people to keep in touch, it doesn't re-energise me, but it feels as another task I got to do. So, all around, definitely a great article!
