    A more extreme solution to phone related perils is “downgrading” to a flip phone. Good vid as always TAoI.

    How come you can easily distract your self by watching UA-cam or TV for hours. How come your focus is really easy to keep for those thing?
    What is the difference with watching a UA-cam video that you have to watch for your work or school, and a video that you watch for leisure? Isn't the only difference, your opinion of the "kind of task" you are doing?
    What if you change your opinion of the tasks. Making you indifferent to any task, but still due diligently finish it.
    Like how you enjoy "Surgeon Simulator" because you can't "screw up". But if you were put in an Operation Room with a scalpel and an unconscious person in front of you. While you have no experience whatsoever with surgery. Would that still be fun?
    To me it seems that focus is heavily related to your opinion of the task.
    Just imagine you having to force yourself to watch TV to "relax" but you get easily distracted by chores you wanted to finish and that school project that isn't due till months. Wouldn't that be upside down world?
    So I basically flipped my opinions, used Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to reprogram my thinking habits. Now I have problems with taking time off 😅

    Some of these are not reasons, they are symptoms of root causes. But let's look at the bright side, your channel is doing great.
