How do you stay focused in a distracted world?

I often feel that the hardest part of my programming life is to stay focused in a distracted world.

Facebook, Twitter and a whole industry is working hard and smart to make us Hooked notifications junkies
Group Chat is making me sweat
Most of us are still working in Open Offices despite studies clearly pointing out that it's a false good idea.
There are so much cool tools I could try out
There are so much projects I could launch

How well do you cope with all of this?

Personally I have tried a lot things, and they help, but it still feels like a never ending battle.
