Remove all forms of social media, and uninstall any apps that you don't absolutely need (on your phone at least). I've saved so much time by not sitting around, scrolling through TikTok or Youtube, and additionally, I feel a lot happier.
This is real. The amount of time I spend watching YouTube every day is atrocious, and I can't help but ponder on how much more productive I could be if these distractions weren't in my life.
Yeah, I used to feel like that a lot. I know I still waste a little bit of time watching YouTube on my PC, but it's pretty minimal, and it brings me enjoyment, so I'm not too bothered. But I'm on my phone roughly 3 hours less a day (down from ~3 hours a day to 30 minutes), and it's totally worth it.
If I remove that from my phone...that means I would have to actually do some work?
For me, it's learning to walk away.
Often, I'll spend hours working on a problem to only end up without an answer feeling like garbage. If I take time to get up, stretch, and walk around a bit, I'll come back refreshed and ready to tackle the issue with new energy that I didn't have before.
It seems counterproductive, but it's because every hour of work is different in what you make it. Spending three hours on something doesn't make it any better work than spending 15 minutes on the same thing if you get the same answer.
Make exercise, prioritize task and not postpone.
It's all about mental prep. Before you study mentally get to that place. Nothing will be accomplished if you aren't mentally prepared.
