On particularly boring work days, I give myself like an hour to play some intense video games, and then just start with a small task again that you'll feel good about getting done. Instead of trying to jmcut out time sinks, just make them more deliberate. Rather than blowing it on mindless Twitter that isn't actually all that stimulating, spend it doing something else that you want to do for a while, and find a way to hard cap that so you can get back to the task. Also drugs.

My parents, and now my girlfriend, always berate me for playing too many games, watching too much anime, etc, and when living with them find myself browsing mindlessly a lot more.
- nso95 5y agoSounds like you need a new gf
- brailsafe 5y agoYa I have a friend who's gf berates him for that and inane things like equations of not being able to get to sleep on time to simply not caring enough about it.. It's super distasteful and we've argued about it. I think that for sure you can play too many video games, but if that's what you do that's what you do. But a person who isn't empathetic ain't gunna get it. Right now I'd personally prefer not to play as much wow, but only because I'd rather switch to something outdoors, I'd still be just allocating time to something intrinsically stimulation because programming is only sometimes that.
