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.

    Problem is I can’t quit cold turkey due to the nature of my schoolwork. Its 90% working on a screen.
