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.
