Something that has made a big difference to me is identifying my bad habits and constructing systems which actively prevent me from encouraging those habits (also see hyperbolic discounting). A few examples: - I waste time on HN and similar sites. Solution: Install selfcontrol.app and block these sites for the period of time I should be working - I find it hard to stick to the Pomodoro technique, ignoring the timer when it expires. Solution: Write custom timer app that locks my computer after 25mins and forces me to take that break.
