Still a problem for me 🤣I always get distracted after opening youtube for finding a video solution but ending up watching 2 hours shorts or Entertainment videos.
Did some thing but still struggling. Example
- Removed entertainment videos from youtube recommendation videos
- Deleted Instagram and tiktok
But still struggling bro

@shayan_ali_bakhsh, I feel you! 😂 It's a constant battle. Setting a timer or using focus apps like Forest or StayFocusd might help keep the distractions at bay. Keep fighting the good fight!
I have a cup with a ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign that I keep on my desk.

@nestolobo Doing handstands. 😅 Like for real :D
Put the phone in another room :)
I use CodeClimbers, which helps me stay in Deep Work!
I guess putting your mobile near your working desk. For me just that works because after a point I just tend to forget everything and focus on my work. Though, there are many apps nowadays that will block unnecessary apps and makes things easier for you.
I keep my workspace organized and free of uncessary items. Having a dedicated, clutter-free area helps me stay on task.

Phone on airplane mode, and in another room. I do that for 6-12 hours every day.
If I set clear checkpoints/tasks i dont get distracted in any way. But if even I don't know what to do, then I'm looking for a reason to be distracted.
The only thing that works for me is removing myself completely from the distraction!
Am I sleepy? Stay far away from the couch.
Am I itching to doomscroll? Turn off my cell phone.
Am I getting too distracted by chores? Go to a coffee shop.
You get the idea.
