on “Ask HN: How do you deal with information and internet addiction?”Yeah - freshen it up. You might be interested in reading something like Deep Work or https://www.defetter.com/ on the subjects of distraction. Consider having no music at all, or white/pink/brown noise. Other things to try: - Explore some exotic places with http://radio.garden/ - https://sudo.fm/ - https://musicforprogramming.net/
