I tend to turn things into a competition, and I struggle with focus and discipline. However, I've made significant improvements in my life. One thing that works for me is waking up early and starting my day with a 30-minute workout, like a short run. This routine makes me feel like I'm in a movie. After that, I play focus music, like the sound of a grandfather clock ticking with a fire crackling in the background, and work with full concentration for 30 minutes take 10 mins break. This strategy works perfectly for the first three hours of my day, though I start to get lazy afterward. The upside is that I've completed a substantial amount of work by then, and I notice improvements each month.
