Opened my laptop with full intention to get work done.

Next thing I know:
checking random stuff , organizing files , watching videos
Work still waiting.

How does this even?

Lol, story of my life. End up wasting a lot of time on scrolling reddit instead of actually working.

Happens to a lot of people
But then, you redirect back to what you have to do and do it

I rarely get distracted when I’m on my PC actually because being on my PC means I am literally at my workstation and working

The only distraction would really be from my phone not the PC

YT gets me now and then. Will watch tutorials on how to do or fix something in my life, and sometimes just an entertaining video since I am tired at end of day
