I have huge distraction issue, watching YouTube, fb insta etc. Only 20-30% is productive whenever I sits for studies? It’s serious problem for me and ruining my future. Any suggestions?
Turn off/silent your phone for 2 hours. Do you always need internet on your laptop for studying? I would suggest going old school and use books to avoid online distractions. Also I have a installed a blocker for sites. When I open those I get diverted to Leetcode.
Internet is required for leetcode or other study stuff
Can you download the materials on pdf or something and turn off your internet for those hours of studying. This is what worked for me when I was getting distracted. For leetcode I solve problems on paper or on whiteboard, so I just need questions. I can type them there later for validation if needed.
I’ll try for sure
Uninstall all, it takes courage, do you have it?
You're undisciplined. Set small goals such as I'll focus on this for 10 minutes and then increase the focus time gradually by five minutes until you can sit and study for at least 90 minutes without breaking focus . Your mind is trained for Facebook and Instagram there a few minutes of focus is all you need, train your mind for other things.
Read/listen Deep Work. Awesome book with bunch of great pointers. I was in the same boat as you, but slowly adjusting based on this book. It’s awesome.
Add a pac file to your browser and block all non leetcode browser. Lock the pac with a pwd and hand it over to you SO or leave the random generated pwd at workplace and leave home. Worked for me everytime.
