I wanted to watch a youtube video on calculating Net Present Value (NPV) but ended up watching random videos for an hour. What are some tips from not getting distracted like this? It's also affecting my attention span at things. Any tips?

    Improving my sleep cycle and eating habits worked for me. I'm now able to concentrate much better.

    • google the sentence above. It is a video course. Or you could read the book "war of art" by Steven Pressfield. It explains how to be productive.

    You're not alone. YouTube has been amazing at sending me down rabbit holes. Every time I mention this to someone (regardless of gender) they say the same thing. If anyone's got a good answer for focusing better these days I'm all ears too.
