It's being increasingly difficult for me to study in isolation. Also I feel if I am unable to control my frequent login on Forum as also visiting various thread, is it really feasible for me to study in isolation which demands even stricter self control? To successfully execute the latter which requires higher self discipline I must learn first to successfully practice the former. Is my analogy right? Can anyone here help me in subsiding my confusion?@Vinay12 @Mauraisles @Luna Lovegood and others as well
Start small. Get busy with your daily targets. Have a weekly and monthly vision.
I use Save my time and Digital detox app.
21 days challenge helps...in making a new habbit.
Talk to your family and friends...complete isolation is not effective in long run.
And you can actually make a timeline of what you do in a day, these days. And then make a plan for yourself modifying your schedule that suit your targets, a few days later.
Your aim is to maximize your studying efficiency and hrs. So, dont think about not using this platform per se rather focus on your targets and you will do fine.
You can try reading Great by choice book by Jim Collins in your breaks.

I should finish the above tasks. Atleast make a deliberate effort in doing so. No escaping these targets via any sort of distractions. Will update at night.
Update-
pt365 SnT - revised it =1:30 hrs
PT365 IR -30 pages =2.5 hrs
Newspaper - 1hr
The hrs I study was of quality. But need to push on quantity. I will start early from tomorrow onwards. Closing art and culture, ancient and medieval for now. Will get back to the leftovers in next round.
I am struggling here to study for long hrs. So i need some suggestions. How do i increase my duration of study sessions? What should i do on breaks so that i get back to studying without (or with less) resistance.
What do you do in your breaks or for how long do you study in one go?
Any suggestions?
I was a night owl - studying at the 11th hr for every test or exam. But this time i am trying to study over the day, with a schedule and planning.
