Distractions are the number one thing that prevent people on the sidewalk like myself from doing anything of value.

In this thread, I would like to provide a nice list of distractions that prevent any kind of productivity.

Now this is not in any particular order or anything. There isn't like a "most to least distracting" aspect of this list, it's just a list of distractions that I have come up with.

Feel free to add to this or talk about how damaging the distraction is. I'd like to make this a living document of sorts where more and more information gets added.

Here's what I have. Again, feel free to add/determine how harmful they are compared to others.

-Video games
-Social Media
-Adult movies/videos
-YouTube (anything on YouTube not just dumb stuff)
-Forums (even this one)
-Discord/Slack/other chatrooms
-The opposite sex (or same sex, whichever one you are sexually attracted to)
-Webinars that have low value and end with selling you something for $9997 after
-Sports as Hobbies
-Streaming video stuff (Twitch/Netflix/HBOGo/Disney+
-Any social/political discussion
-Current events/news
-Scripted friends/family
-Podcasts
-Junk food
-Drugs/Alcohol
-Religion (what ARE you doing when you go to church/temple/mosque that you couldn't do by yourself?)
