One practical approach I’ve adopted is intentionally creating brief, distraction-free intervals by bringing up a black screen for focus between major tasks. That plain visual break gives your eyes and mind a moment to step away from the constant stimulus of code and design tools, helping you return to complex tasks with refreshed concentration and fewer cognitive interruptions.
