How the hell do people *actually* do work? How do you not constantly check your phone?

This is a serious question. I fail to do *anything* for more than 10 minutes without being distracted. I check my phone, I check chambers, I check my email, I check my phone again. I am unable to focus on *anything*. Online courses? Forget it, I’ll play with my dog instead. I can’t even do the dishes properly because I’m constantly checking my phone. If I start to do a task, *anything*, I’ll get up to the sink and do about 5 dishes and then think about something else and leave to go do that, and then I’ll get up to the sink and do another five dishes but think about something else and never actually complete the dishes. I can’t even do anything successfully *without any distractions.* I fail to clean anything successfully, I fail to finish reading a page in a book (or even a single paragraph), I fail to cook a single dish without burning it because I can’t focus on a single thing for more than five minutes without getting distracted. I’m my own goddamn distraction, and I can’t figure out how to get out of my own head and do anything.<br><br>I’m actually going to go do the dishes now, since I’m already doing them, but I’ll probably come back after 5 minutes.
