Time-blocking could be a help. You block a few hours where no one should interrupt you, shut down your phone and close your e-mail client and just focus on work. In the beginning, it´s a bit wired because you don´t need to do anything else while working but you get used to it and become more concentrated.

I finished reading "Deep Work" recently (book mentioned in the article) and have started using this time-blocking strategy to great effect.
The book also suggests scheduling time specifically for distractions, the idea being to turn the situation on its head so you have something to look forward to rather than something to avoid.
