If you are on desktop, and the distractions come from twitter/x, linkedin or youtube, you can get rid of contents that intrigue you. Like for example:

If you are being disturbed by contents with a specific keyword let's say: Alex.

Just install the extension, add the keyword and no more contents with that word in title will be shown to you.

Apart from that, following are effective ways I manage it:

1. Uninstall social apps from your mobile in increasing time splits: Days, Weeks and Months. I have not used Facebook from years, instagram from months and likewise. This create a lot of time for me to work on things I like.

2. The things that you like can sometimes be a real challenge. For same try different things everyday, even a 5 min effort in a new thing will keep you up.

3. Don't root for quick happiness in whatever you do, sometimes its fun to fail in trying many things.
