Focus is key, without it coding is a real struggle. Since I been diagnosed with ADD I have been more aware of what the struggle is about. Most is about Self Reflection. Realizing what it is you are doing wrong. Asking the right questions.
Get to know yourself in these situations, step away from the screen when you notice it and it isn't productive. Reflect and most times you know what it is you are not doing right.
I agree, focus is critical; especially while learning something brand new. Since, I'm always interested in multiple things, drawing up a "calendar of learning" has helped quieten that curious devil inside me. It's a useful way of telling my brain to not feel the FOMO as we'll get to the new thing in 2 weeks from now.
And thanks for bringing up non-screen time! Most good ideas come in the shower. :)
