In my case, it helps to stick to habits. Habits that are device, cloths and
location specific.

The biggest one is probably my computer at home. It only exists for gaming.
When I'm inside my gaming room to enjoy a gaming session, nothing else gets
close to me and I forget about everything as soon I step into this room.

Another thing is, that I have cloths to relax, to go out and to go to work. As
soon I change into my plain white shirt with collar, my brain probably
switches to work mode.

The third is similar to the first habit. Going to work and being there is also
a'swtich' and I can concentrate.

I was a freelancer too and I had a hard time to work at home. My computer was
always just a room away and just going in there for a'short' gaming session
was too easy.

So basically this is my advice: Go and buy a different computer than the one
for gaming, shower in the morning and change into your business attire. Leave
the house and go somewhere boring and quiet. The last part is the hardest
since everything gets interesting depending on how much you have to overcome
your habit. Your brain tries to fill your enjoyable habits with new enjoyable
habits, instead of the 'boring' work. This is probably why so many smoke - it
creates a enjoyable habit of doing 'nothing', which is better than working.

I hope this helps a bit. :-)

Test your self for vitamin D and B12 deficiency. Also try avoiding gluten and
dairy products. I support and agree with most other comments here as well, but
fix the diet first!

It feels like you’re haven’t discovered something that you would
wholeheartedly embrace as a “success“, that you would experience as a genuine
pleasure. What is the ultimate game you want to play? Do you like animals?
Cuddling a pet gives you a warm fuzzy feeling? That

 In my character, it helps to lodge to habits. Habits that are device, fabric and 
 location specific. 

 The biggest one is probably my computer at base. It only exists for gaming. 
 When I'm inside my gaming room to enjoy a gambling session, nothing else gets 
 close to me and I forget about everything equally soon I step into this room. 

 Another thing is, that I have cloths to relax, to rifle out and to go to work. As 
 soon I change into my plain blank shirt with collar, my brain probably 
 switches to work mode. 

 The third is similar to the first habit. Going to work and being there is also 
 a'swtich' and I can concentrate. 

 I was a freelancer too and I had a hard clock time to work at home. My calculator was 
 constantly barely a room away and just going in there for a'short' gaming session 
 was too easy. 

 therefore basically this is my advice: Go and buy a different computer than the one 
 for gaming, shower in the dawn and change into your business attire. Leave 
 the house and blend somewhere boring and quiet. The concluding part is the hardest 
 since everything gets interesting depending on how much you have to overcome 
 your substance abuse. Your brain tries to fill your enjoyable habits with new enjoyable 
 habits, instead of the' boring' work. This is probably why indeed many smoke - it 
 produce a enjoyable habit of doing' nothing', which is good than working. 

 I hope this helps a bit. :-)

In my cAse, It Helps to stick TO hAbits. HabitS thAt are device, cLotHs and
lOcAtiON specIfiC.

The bIggest ONe is prObably my cOmPUter at HOme. It onLY ExIsts For gaming.
When I'm inSIdE My gaming room to Enjoy a GaMInG SEssIon, Nothing elsE gEts

AnOTher thIng is, ThAT I hAve cloths to RelaX, to go out aNd to go TO work. As
