Ex: a lot of the programs I use require dual factor authentication to log in which requires a verification text be sent to my phone.

I totally hear you. I am the same way. The only thing I have been trying is to allow myself to go down the rabbit hole but for like literally a minute – and then I ask myself ok has it been a minute of being distracted? Ok stop – back to work. Like you just allow yourself to get distracted but cut it off at x amount of time then reduce that time til you can eliminate that negative habit. you don\u2019t have that cut off time and you end up into the nether of no return. Give it a try!<\/div>\n<\/div>
