Sounds silly but the only things that have helped:
- Working at a cafe, if they're open near you. Prevents distractions like porn, pets, TV.
- Getting a physical pomodoro timer like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J5OFW0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b... I tried the webapps and they just wouldn't stick. I needed something on my desk that I cannot minimize or close. I set it to 40 min blocks for "work" in which I devote myself to staying focused. Every time I want to click away to youtube, I glance at the timer and it brings my focus back. When it's done, I set it for a 10 minute break. This is what I did in college too.
