One big issue for me with focus and work seems to be the black hole of the internet.
Well let me list out my black holes:
- Eating in front of the computer
- Mindlessly browsing on the computer
- Watching tons of YouTube videos that aren’t related to learning Japanese grammar
- Checking FaceBook and Instagram repeatedly
- Looking up news about the new upcoming Apple Silicon Macs
- Looking up random stuff on my smartphone when I should be studying flashcards
So let’s list the things that I should be doing instead of getting lost in the black holes:
- Don’t eat in front of the computer
- Eat food “analog” style
- No smartphones, no computers, etc
- If I use my smartphone, there should only be two main reasons:
- Study flashcards
- Listening to Japanese grammar audio
- If I use my laptop, there should only be two main reasons:
- Work
- Working on research and data
