    It hasn’t always worked for me, I can’t find any solution that consistently works, some days are just complete write offs, however, the Pomodoro Technique has had some success for me.

    The tldr is you create a task list of jobs you need to do. Set a timer for 20 minutes and work on the first task in that time, once 20 minutes is up set a timer for 5 minutes, your reward, browse Lemmy, masturbate do whatever you want you’ve got 5 minutes. Another 20 minute timer for work then another five. After a set of 3 20 minutes take yourself a 15 minute break. Rinse and repeat.

      A friend told me to try this and whenever I tried to do it I either started the task then overdid that task and didn’t do any others or I was overwhelmed by the thought of starting any of the tasks and didn’t do any. I do think it’d be a good thing to get down though I still wanna try to get it right.

        Yeah sometimes I can’t even get myself to start the timer or write the task list.

      Honestly even thinking about that is so exhausting I think I’m going to go and do some work just to escape it.

      Hold on… That could work…
