how to stay focused in learning Programming/software development

1: My little trick, "Set up a workstation."
Though expensive, setting up work station would see you learn & work more efficiently. Even when you're watching a movie, you'd sometimes wanna get up and do some coding.

2:Listen Music When You Work
Music can help to keep the brain alert and prevent it from switching off.
Music can also be a motivator. If someone listens to epic soundtracks while working, they might be inspired to complete a big project.

3:Turn Off Social Media Notification
If your work does not require you to be online on social media platforms because while working social media notification distract you.

4:Don’t expect more than is possible.
Keep in mind that you are a human being, not a robot who can work day and night. Make sure you take breaks at least for a couple of hours per day. Make sure you get enough sleep and food. This affects how you think and how you focus.

5:self-discipline
But mostly, focus comes from you. When you are working on a difficult problem, and you suddenly feel the desire to read your email, you must stop yourself, saying, “I can’t let email distract me.” When your phone alerts because some friend posted on facebook, and you want to look to see who it was, you have to stop yourself, saying, “It’s just facebook. It’ll still be here at 5 PM.”
