In my country this isn't "common" but it's way more common than in other countries.

Set out a life goal. Think hard about what you can achieve in that time if you weren't watching videos. This is how you win.

Thank you for this specification as the OP hasn't put it in the title. Before reading your comment I thought the article is about human interaction.

Your problem doesn't lie in to what you're currently addicted to but the addiction and obessiveness as a whole. I have the same problem and when I stop myself from consuming something it just turns out that I have switched it with something else. I've been able to stop drinking, smoking, etc. but I've found other alternative sources of addiction in their place. I don't know how to solve the problem of addiction as a whole yet but you should focus on that in my opinion.

Try meditation, Yoga Nidra, NSDR, whatever works for you. You'll really be amazed by the effects it has on your mind. Especially NSDR/Yoga Nidra. It has been life changing career wise and just in regards to how I view the world, how I think about code and just everything in general. It'll help you clear your mind which is one of the most underrated things in life but at the same time crucial to performance. That's the only advice I feel is suitable except the for the common sense (switch jobs, projects, take a break, etc.).

Seems like a fun game but I don't think it'll hit the worldle success because the dividide the middle and aim straigh for the diagonal strategy gets you a win pretty much every time. Mechanic wise I really like it. The delays and limitations would make you want to play it more too. Probably if you improve the algorithm you use to generate the blocks you can make it harder. Also maybe make the board bigger.

What about +10 -7? Do you have a mental model for negative numbers?

I personally use an app called Smiling Mind. It has different paths you can go according to what problem you're trying to solve through meditation. It's an amazing app IMO.

I believe you're a good father since you're concerned. As time goes you'll teach them focus and they'll teach themselves. Focus is a general problem and it has to be solved as such. More and more distractions will be born as years go by so you need a general solution. That's my suggestion.

I'd say go for CTFs. They are the best way to learn. Also you can download boxes from VulnHub which you can hack. About learning specific attacks you can just pick any book from that list and you'll be good to go. My only advice is to be persistent.

I really hate everything that tries to bring your focus back to you as it should be. I think it's all bull*hit. The one true thing is that focus is on the psychological side and we just have to deal with discomform, that's how you win, not by buying some magic paper.

Just realize that you're living your best life mate. Life is full of vanity but what's important is to enjoy the feeling. That's all there is to it.

Point for me with all these blockers is the time before you access the app. You can get your mind together in these couple of seconds and decide that it's not good for you to go mad scroller mode again and instead close the app.

Thanks mate appreciate it a lot!

Any books, videos, etc. you'd suggest to us in order to aquire the skill of understanding our own brain? I'm asking for some path to go down and lead me to this understanding I'm aware that in the end it's all up to oneself.
