Do you people have some methods for concentration? I have little time after works and one day i start to develop a c++ game i started months ago and never looked back, another day i try to learn ruby by adding random functionality to an online todo-listish project which will obviously reach a dead end eventually, some other days i try pic stuff on breadboards... When i take a timeout at work, i try to read papers on network protocols, and sometimes bitcoin, and sometimes other crypto stuff... It does give a momentary satisfaction, but the thing is, nothing ever gets done in the end. I started to think that being able to reach knowledge this easily (smartphones, wikipedia, sci-hub, etc.) perhaps isn't a good thing, and diverts focus.
Indeed, in an age where we have unlimited access to information, the hardest thing can be deciding what to say no to, what to ignore. So for success, hone your skill of determining what to ignore, as early and quickly as possible, so that the limited time you do spend on anything is spent on worthwhile things. </polemically stating the obvious>
