Music
My headset which also has an ambient noise reduction feature
It makes all the difference! What about you @gizemnurkeskin ?
Music!
I go from classic, to punk rock, to metal, to pop, all depending on the work and kind of focus I need. But usually music is a must if I'm out of meetings :)

People around me, actually!
I thrive the most in environments where a lot of (preferably like-minded and ambitious) people are around me, like in co-working spaces, offices or Uni libraries, because there is just a sense of productivity in the room and also the small chats help me destress from my work. :)

@sophia_buttgen I have never thought of it like that but I agree! I work from home but I find myself going out to shared working areas to actually get some work done! Well said, Sophia, thank you!

@sophia_buttgen yes! Came here looking for someone that would answer this :)

Slack. It might not be a true "searchable log of all communication and knowledge", but is essential for me to stay up to date with the team.
I'd say checklists. It's much easier for me personally to define what I need to do (the definitions can be vague but need to be set) and then act on it. If the checklist items are not defined then the chances of getting distracted after completing one task are very high.

@anees_iqbal Do you prefer pen and paper or is there a tool you use for that?
@gizemnurkeskin I'm on macOS so I use an application called Things 3. Your mileage may vary if you're on another platform.

Music is the best productivity tool for me!
Its art, colors and sketches for me.

Music 100%. Either lofi or 90s hip hop for me.
