I study computer science and any time I sit down to code, I just browse or watch Youtube. Anything but do the work. Days and even months have gone by like this where I haven't done even an hour of learning. Its tough because in order to code I need to be in front of a screen but my brain refuses to study and just looks for that dopamine hit. My grades have suffered and I feel like a constant failure.

To clarify this is not an effect of the pandemic but has been happening for the past few years.

    both my workstation and leisure spot are on my desktop so it is a bit difficult to separate the two, but others downthread have mentioned ways to work around this. Thanks for the advice regardless though.
