Only thing I can focus on without looking at my phone is a war documentary lol.

I can’t watch YouTube because I’m constantly distracted. And I can’t listen to audiobooks either.

Yeah I got a Rubik’s cube for this purpose and it helps a bit but doesn’t solve it entirely. I know there’s various fidget toys available, this is the only one I’ve tried so far and it works a bit. Like I have to be doing something with my hands. While I’m watching something or listening to something otherwise I can’t focus at all. But in general I still am regularly pausing and getting distracted at least 6-8 times during a show even if it’s only 20 minutes. If it’s longer than an hour chances are I’ll start it and never get back to it. And start another show or movie then get distracted and never get back to that and on and on
