A thread to discuss the ways you can stay productive and avoid any distractions from getting in your way. This thread can also be used to link any tool that increases your productivity. I'm going to start off this thread with the most important tools I could find.

It's honestly just self discipline. I don't think I'm gonna download that plugin because it would be like using advil to treat a hangnail. I'm trying more and more to allot certain spans of time to certain things each day and it's working out. It's kind of monotonous since I'm not to used to it, I'm only really lucid in between tasks, but progress is progress. And when you really think about it, that lucidity only means to show how focused you are during the tasks themselves. It's hard not to beat yourself up when you miss a day, due to unforeseen circumstances or not. That's when you recall your record of constant daily progress, and understand you'll be fine as long as you're working on it the next day, because it has to be every day to be a committal. Just eat right, exercise, sleep right, read books, etc, and depression will gradually loosen its hold.
Discipline is the best key to productivity.

I do agree that self discipline is the best thing but for some people like me who automatically click into the search bar and start typing things into it without realizing what they are doing the tools mentioned did actually help me prevent from going there and made me realize what I was actually doing.
I struggle a lot with focus and getting distracted.
While I haven't tried those blocker extensions, I've found that editing the hosts file works for me to the extent of preventing me from accessing 4chan on my computer.
Unfortunately that doesn't prevent me from browsing it on my phone or getting distracted in other ways.
Turning off the internet is generally more effective for me, but I don't stick to it and I often end up daydreaming instead of working when I do.

I sorely lack in discipline. I don't know what to do

In my experience there are no tools or cheat codes to acquire discipline. You simply have to stick by it.

I wonder if taking a break from all electronical devices would do something for you.

I could try for a day or two, but all my stuff is on the computer, including study materials. The best I could do is read a book

Having a safety net is always wise, along with discipline.
