Hello esteemed tech tip community

 

 

I am having a productivity problem.  When I am on my PC and doing a task, I get distracted too easy and end up going down a lot of rabbit holes.  How do you guys stay on task?

 

 

For example, I am learning about Hyper V.  Then I end up going, "oh, what does this do?  Google search.....and you can see where it goes from there.

Turn off the internet. I have these problems when doing schoolwork but there is this thing called self control. If you're googling something on the internet just try and stay focused or just don't open a new tab ro anything like that.

I think you were missing my point.  I should have phrased it as a workflow question.
