I have to do multiple things at once, and in fact, I am working for a few companies around the world and run my own business. Yet I still manage to always get my work done. I also use medical cannabis which helps with anxiety, especially during these times. I will open up YouTube videos, find myself watching news, watching Netflix, searching for corona virus stats, or procrastinating on Facebook.

Once you realize it, you can fix it. Once you admit you're doing it, you can fix it. Once you accept that you did it, accept that you needed a small break, you can fix it. Now that you know this, go ahead and do it. Set yourself up with blockers or attention forcers. Things that block Facebook, YouTube, or Netflix. OR if you don't want to be that strict. 10-15 minutes per hour, dedicate to slacking, and 45 minutes should be spent on your work. You can break it up along the hour, but it does help.

Also, I find myself procrasting the most when I don't know how to solve a problem or I don't want to face it. You can fix this too! Write down how you are going to handle the solution before you go tackle it. Always write an outline of your work process... and then you will progress.
