Fabulous has some meditations you can try. I like using the Headspace app for meditation, which has some really good meditations packs for all different kinds of meditation, including ones to help you focus. It can take a while to get used to meditating, but it only takes a short while of consistent meditating and it makes a phenomenal difference. You can try it and see how you go. Fabulous has a habit that you can add into your routine to, if you want. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ivone P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Usually, I willl turn my phone into airplane mode. Which disconnect me from other social media stuff. If I really need to use internet for researching, I will use my laptop instead. My laptop doesn&#39;t connect to any social media. With this kind of set up, I limited myself from any kind of distraction and focus better.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kimberly F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Turn off notifications. You can also use daily limits for using apps. If you still can\u2019t refrain from using them, I suggest you look into what\u2019s really important for you in life. Maybe staying on social media is important for you therefore your mind is attracting you there \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dennis P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Turn it all off.<br \/>\nAre you really up for work?
