Disabling all push notifications has helped. Also having a watch instead of looking up the time on my phone. Generally doing things in an analogue way sometimes. Its also often more fun but can become an attention trap in itself. Anyone who ever spent 3h making their to do list beautiful knows.
However sometimes it will just happen. It is part of our lives to some extend no matter how good we get at avoiding them.
