This guy’s playing chess while the rest of us are playing checkers.
Setting your media player to repeat will also keep your status from going inactive. Pro tip – create fake meetings when you need an hour or so of no one bothering you. Everyone knows “busy” is synonymous will bullshit, but “in a conference call” makes it look like you’re taking care of business.

You can change the settings to stay active for a few hours at a time. First thing I did when I started working from home.
Or just work for a company with no messenger. Setup the laptop at 8am, plug the phone in with email push notifications… fire up the xbox
My first job out of college had no messenger, it was a bitch.
