Seriously, being a freelance artist & an entrepreneur and business owner I& #39;ve constantly struggled with this battle of distraction. The only way I& #39;ve found to win through those hours of procrastination is to find those routines & stick to them. Not only will move you forward...

When I wake up I have a series of motions that I go through to get me alert & ready for work. I pay close attention to what I eat because it affects my mood = work quality.

I limit social media time but this is sadly where I frequently give in to scrolling. I& #39;m practicing simply being intentional with my time & closing things vs the apps I& #39;ve tried that block etc. The apps don& #39;t work but building up my mental fortitude with clear intentions has.
What are some of the routines you use to keep you out of the procrastination loop?
