Not connecting email, calendar, social media, or anything else that produces notifications is the best thing I ever did with a tablet.

Email, social media, etc. is a productivity black hole due to notifications. At first I tried disabling notifications but it isn't enough. I had to remove the accounts as I just can't be trusted to not check manually.

I used to hate my iPad because I never got anything done on it but since removing all that crap it is a fantastic device for when you want to focus on one task and not be distracted.
