Here are a few of mine.

Comupter

On Windows 10, you can create a second, third, or more desktops. I use one of these as my task focused desktop to get stuff done. It's great for me because only the web browser and tabs that I open in it will be shown. This helps a lot to keep me from seeing another browser instance and having the urge to switch back.

Smartphone

I use an Android and realized just this year that I could pause apps. To do this, hold your finger on the app for 2 seconds. A menu will appear, and the hourglass looking thing is tapped to pause the app. This is great for me when I don't want to get pinged with a bunch of stuff in a set period of time. It also saves battery energy as the app is either no longer running in the background or is running on a low amount of energy. Then when you're ready to use a paused app, hold your finger on the app for 2 seconds, and a new menu will show to unpause or cancel.
