Put your phone on silent and leave it in your bag. Look at the notifications each app is broadcasting and turn them into silent notifications. Optionally have an override when somebody important tries to call you through your phone.

You might as well ask, does Skype/Hangouts/Slack/Email etc on your work machine interfere with your productivity? Yes if you let it.

One of the reasons I like Full Screen mode on OSX. It removes distractions.

On the desktop there aren't more than a couple of apps which create notifications and the frequency is much lower than on a mobile phone. I would say there was a problem of too many email notifications and Slack is just compounding it. :/

I found this app on android called (Off Time) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co.offtime.kit
