I have already figured out how to get stronger and smarter.
My next big challenge was how to improve focus.
I have figured out that the solution to improve focus is to have a category named distractions in your head where you sort out anything and everything that comes up in your mind that is not useful and you ignore.
Funnily enough it turns out you have to ignore like a 100+ little pings in your own head to focus on the task in front of you all day every day.
We create a distractions folder in our heads instead of a one big thing we are getting over, because for example, if you are playing too much video games and block that out, you then find yourself watching too much tv, or if you drink too much, you manage to control it, you find yourself doing light drugs instead.
The issue with the human brain is that when you remove something, especially in terms of some method of procrastination, your mind and body will replace it with some other alternative distraction for you.
So instead of wasting time going ignore games, end up watching tv, ignore tv and up reading too many comics, ignore comics, end up playing games again, and getting stuck in a bad cycle, you instead categorize it all as distractions and just keep ignoring as many distractions as you can every single day until you have mastered ignoring distractions of all and any kind all day until even the distractions themselves begin to go down in number.
I would like to thank the commentator whose comment i didn't save and whose name I have forgotten who commented on a comment of mine a few weeks ago, telling me about how he too is trying to deal with improving focus and he keeps finding himself distracted with some other thing once he fixes one thing so you gotta keep fighting up at all times.
After a few weeks of testing it finally clicked in my head how to work around distractions to improve focus. So thank you. I hope you see this article and know you were a great help.

Interesting post. A lot of procrastination has to do with bad emotional regulation more specifically inability to regulate negative emotions (i.e., anxiety).
What we distract ourselves with doesn't matter, it just serves to allow us to avoid that negative emotion. We can see this when we have a test to study (for example), and suddenly we are cleaning the whole house to avoid it. The best method is to just stab it right in its heart and do something you enjoy afterwards. Which is easier said than done.
What it ultimately requires is improving at dealing with negative emotions, which can be done in many ways, but exposure therapy is probably the best. However, you must not overwhelm yourself or traumatize yourself through exposure, this can be accomplished by trying hard tasks gradually and keeping a positive mindset throughout.

Based and addition information pilled.
Makes sense to me.
I prefer maxing out one skill as a proof of concept then pointing out that if you can master one skill, you can probably also get above average results in any skill you put effort into.

I just explained how to do it.
Every time you notice a distracting thought, identify it correctly as a distracting thought and discard it.
In the starting its very hard, but over time you get better at it.

Brown noise
helps me focus on tasks and studying ; just putting in AirPods and letting it act as a constant, ambient noise helps.
