I don't know if this topic belongs here ( if not kindly move).
I feel I'm a beginner than needs some help with the proper time management and focus.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how I manage my time. I know I’ve got the kind of mindset that’s made for growth. I think fast, I learn fast, and I truly believe I can grow more through business and investing, especially with Bitcoin involved. But to be honest, I get distracted too easily. Sometimes I’m focused on building something real, then suddenly I’m checking charts, reading Bitcoin news, or getting lost in random stuff online. Before I know it, I’ve lost hours that could’ve gone to something productive. It’s not that I lack discipline, it’s just that it’s hard to stay consistent when your attention keeps jumping between business, markets, and everything else happening around.

So I need some advice, how do you guys manage your time and focus? Especially for those who trade, invest, or run businesses while still trying to stay mentally sharp. Do you follow a system that keeps you proactive, not just reacting to whatever happens in the market?

Do you have social media? Do you have notifications turned on on your phone for various applications? The thing is that the situation with your chart looking may not be a cause but just a consequence of your current situation. If it was not the charts it would be something else. You need to look for root causes that make you more vulnerable and that condition your mind for distractions. Here's what I have done a few years ago.

  • All social media deleted.
  • All application notifications shut down.
  • All messaging notifications shut down except a couple emergency contacts.
  • All useless YouTube channels, podcasts and whatever removed.
  • Regular tech detox for a few months.
It is important to remember whatever you do the change will not happen in a few days. Your brain will need some time to fully re-calibrate itself, so you must consistently hold out for a few months at least to see significant changes.

It’s not that I lack discipline, it’s just that it’s hard to stay consistent when your attention keeps jumping between business, markets, and everything else happening around.
You need to quit multitasking as that is a myth. It does not exist. Redo your priorities list. Block anything that is not essential like some Bitcoin news. Are you a daily high stakes trader? If not, why are you reading Bitcoin news so often? Block those websites.

Right now, I think the best thing to do is to figure out thungs that[ normally distract you from achieving what you want to achieve. However by figuring out those things that distract you, you can easily control yourself from them by not doing anything that will distract you. However, it can be very hard to manage time and commitment since you are using the Internet.  If you are dealing offline I would have said you should not go online until you are done with what you are doing. Actually, since you are always online reading Bitcoin news and charts I think one of the best thing to do right now is to block ads from showing up on your screen (if that is one of the reasons you are cut off from concentrating).

If I may ask, what are the things that really distract you from concentrating?

But to be honest, I get distracted too easily. Sometimes I’m focused on building something real, then suddenly I’m checking charts, reading Bitcoin news, or getting lost in random stuff online. Before I know it, I’ve lost hours that could’ve gone to something productive. It’s not that I lack discipline, it’s just that it’s hard to stay consistent when your attention keeps jumping between business, markets, and everything else happening around.

From the provided list of stuff that distract you in carrying out some important task, I don't think any is that bad, for one to say these are the causes for distraction, except there could be others that is/are not added and might be the major reason for the said distractions.
With those listed above, what you need is to rearrange your schedule for them, which includes staying focus on a particular thing before jumping into another. If you are building something, give a set time for it, the building is not to take the whole day so you can switch to something else to avoid getting bored along the line, and because what you are building is important, it should have more of your dedication than others.

If they are in sections of online and offline activities, I will say use the day for the offline activities (if it doesn't take all day) and the remaining for online; and when online, the most important should come first; if as a trader, going through the charts and reading trading news are more important. With this, there will be changes in productivity and the new system will start setting in after a period of time.

First you need to set your daily goals, identify all those things that are standing as a distraction to you and are causing you not to achieve your daily goals. After identifying all the agents of distraction, create a to-do list for every daily goals and tasks that you plan to achieve from Monday  to Sunday, let the list guid you, repeat for the following week and see if you are gradually adjusting. There are different kinds of distractions which affects proper time management but if you can identify those distractions you are having and make sure to put your primary goal in consideration first before any other things, you will stay focused and manage your time better.
