Recommendations for goal setting/productivity resources?

Spend as little time as possible on websites that want to attract your attention away from what you want to do and find websites which will drag you deeper down the rabbit whole into interesting stuff.

For example, reddit is great because you can subscribe only to the stuff you are interested in and it won't feed you ads (as long as you use ublock)

Bandcamp is good, for something like music for the same reason.

Learning websites like skillshare/great courses+/khan academy are great for the same reason (not the best learning websites, but no point in me naming more specific examples unless I know your fields of study).

Small blogs are great for that same reason.

Youtube is horrible, since it always wants to feed you ads. Why finish washing this hard but insightful video about hydrodynamic equations and simulating the inner-workings of a damn when the cute cat video or the joe rogan podcast with some tradcon getting annoyed at kids is one click away ? Your brain wants to easy to get dopamine.

Same goes for stuff like Medium, any newspaper website, and most big websites in general. I think it goes without saying stuff like FB/IG/Twiter... etc are just one big ad farm, use them to advertise your shit and nothing else.

That's not to say never use shit websites, there's a lot of good content on youtube, but use it wisely.

Also, USE AD REMOVING plugins, ublock origin is the obvious one. But there are website speicifc ones, for example, if you really want to watch video content on youtube, this plugin is a must: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/remove-recommendations-yo/hfnghnjkcpgagjbiheidccjnneoipbmb?hl=en

OKRs.

Every major tech company CEO uses the OKR system.

Install freedom. Quit the Internet. Make things.
