One alternative would be, and what worked for me, is a simple old school pomodoro tracker:
1: get pomodoro app/timer like http://tomato-timer.com/ 2: aim for 3 or so pomodoro sessions/day for your project or new thing you want to do or to learn 3: profit
Nice thing about pomodoro technique is that the distraction is already included. You focus 25 minutes and then have 5 minutes distraction time. It adds up for motivation if you know that you can have a break after a short perdiod of time.
