I'm struggling to find the motivation and focus. Do you guys have any tips?

I have had some success with Pomodoro timers. Honestly now that I am older I am resorting to trying to reduce my digital presence (which is funny because here I am lurking on lemmy avoiding work) and doing a lot on paper. Printing out worksheets, handwriting things, putting my phone in a drawer where I can't randomly pick up and get distracted for an hour. Its a rough start but its helped a little.

I'm not really a fan of Pomodoro.

Reducing my digital presence would help, but that's hard. I should work on that.

fair on the pomodoros. What about body doubling?

This work pretty well actually (although not always). Problem is finding someone available, as I prefer studying in the evening/night.
