I don’t use any tricks anymore, every life hack, diet or special exercise or even app that claims to help never does. What I did find that helped over time is a routine, and I don’t mean like a boring normal like routine. I believe at the core of keeping productive is getting the right balance of mindfulness and self discipline. I think the perfect thing that teaches this are a few martial arts, but there’s podcasts out there and such on self discipline as well like jockos podcast. I only really use the mindfulness stuff myself to keep my mind in the moment and help deal with loud environments so enacting good self discipline seems to help me the most. I written some stuff here on my blog as well about it a while ago: somet.dev/learning-to-learn
