Solutions are dead simple and they are mostly about discipline and life style. But, you have to believe that they are going to work. Otherwise you will give up quickly before seeing any results. I heard so many times that writing is effective. But I couldn't believe it until I've forced myself to try it. I think a lot of people are just waiting for a magic course or a pill to solve this issue. But in reality solutions are all those simple things that we've heard many times. - I set daily goals. I do it every night before going to sleep. I have on average 3 daily goals(Sometimes more). You are guaranteed to achieve something every day. And that's so rewarding that you want to do more - I write down my goals. It's as effective as having a good friend that keeps you in check. - I have a Trello board for every side project that I do. Pretty much like a Jira board. I have backlog, in-progress, testing, and done columns. It's like releasing space from your mind. So you don't have to track everything in your head and be busy thinking about them all the time. Also when you are working, you don't have to stop and think what is the next thing to do. - I've created my home office. I have my own room but it doesn't have to be a room. It's important to keep it consistent. So you train your brain to stay focused when you are at your office. Also your family knows when you aren't available. - Find healthy hobbies. I do hiking, cycling, and tennis. The time you spend there helps your body and your health. And after a while you enjoy it so much that you don't want to waste your time with social media or video game. I also do it with my wife which keeps her more satisfied as we spend the time together. Happy wife, happy life. - Find your big time wasting distractions and only do them as a reward for your weekly achievements. Mine was video games and I was really good at it. I started limiting myself to a two-hours session per week. After a while, I have weeks that I don't want to play at all. I just enjoy spend my time playing tennis or go for cycling. Maintain a good lifestyle. Good food, enough sleep, enough physical activity, rest enough, use your holidays.
