One thing I wanted to do (but never did) was to get a dedicated pc for work-related stuff. Because on my current pc distractions are one click away, one minute you are waiting for the pipeline to finish and the next one you find yourself looking at memes.

View on HN

I have found this works very well for me. While I use the same PC, I have double boot with Linux for work stuff and Windows for anything fun related.

Since everything that can distract me (except HN) is blocked in Linux, I am forced to reboot to access it which is a great deterrent.

This is funny i actually have 2 windows installed one for gaming and one for work, it works excellent.

The gaming setup doesnt have slack/messenger and all those distracting things so when i boot it up in the evening i know im off work.
