I recently noticed that many people are really ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ด๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€, and I was no exception. After a lot of trial and error, along with a combination of disciplined habits and smart planning, Iโ€™ve finally managed to overcome my own distractions. I wanted to share my experience with you all in the hopes that it might help some of you too. ๐Ÿ˜Š
