Tips on stop getting distracted easily?
I have an exam. I sit at the table. I put the binaural beats on my earphones. I pick up the pencil. Scribble something and then I start fidgeting with the pencil, look at it and then... Boom, at least 2 hours wasted looking at my pencil, fidgeting and thinking on other things. I've tried a lot: pomodoro, white noise, the 5 minute rule, phone in the other room, less things placed in the table and other stuff... Nothing seem to work, unless I actually like what I'm doing (rarely unfortunately) or reeeeally close to the deadline. It stresses me out because I end up pulling all nighters to finish the works and then on the day I look like a zombie. Any solutions? Kinda urgent bc school is going to start in 2 weeks.

I will listen to a song i love to distract me from the thinking. I cant help much bc every workspot i have looks like a bomb went off. So minimal things ive seen help. I use my desk only for laptop second screen and to be able to write. I have another desk next to it that i put everything else. It looks insane but i know where everything is when i need it despite everyone else seeing it as an eye sore. Also you mentioned trying a bunch of things. I will hyperfocus on looking for apps and stuff that will “improve productivity” instead of doin the work. Anything to procrastinate lol, because i know realistically they wont. And unless u need ur phone throw it out the window whrn u sit down unless u need it.
