Many of us say that bein' sluggish, unproductive, bored, outta focus gets us into troubled thinkin'.

If you choose option 4, please elaborate, and then perhaps, I can modify the options.

Maybe this will help some.

I voted - Focus; block out interruptions

I was a person that was very organized on paper, but till I didn't stop lusting I couldn't start focusing. Today I can remember more without all the notes I use to prepare.

But yes having a list of things to do can help you when your bored.
 *  NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.
 *  Being curios made me lust and get into trouble.

I voted stay focused

Even if I have stuff to do and I have a list, there will always be something more convenient to do at the moment, even if it neglects necessities. My best moments are under pressure because I must stay focused, for example I'm a mohel and the pressure of doing it right and b"h it has never let me down, also now I am trying to learn the meggila for Purim so I can read it for my wife, and that is the last thing that gets done, however now that it's coming down the wire im spending more time on it. If I'd stay focussed is do much more with my time
Hashem these lustful thoughts are not mine I don't need them or want them please take them from me so I can live a happy and healthy life

Gotta roll with the punches or the punches will roll all over you

yesterday was
tomorrow will be
the only thing you can change is the moment you see

keep smiling and keep busy

"lust is fire to dynamite don't get close" from someone don't remember who

The worst thing i did to myself was lie to myself for 2 whole years

I try not to hate it takes way to much energy

I voted reporting to others. Because thats whats working now. But i guess it depends on each guy. And even the same guy it could depend on the dekufah.

Do the next right thing. Live in the present. I like the lists, but they only work for me for what I'm doing now. Journaling my goals and progress also helps.
Much Hatzlacha!

Voted other.
First step would be to get in control of everything that you have sitting on your mind, not necessarily any specific task at hand.
The more one feels in control of what he has to do, the easier it is to do it. (This is not exactly making a list - I understand making a list as a list of things i want to do now, while I am talking about a comlpete control of things that have to get done)

Focusing has always been my problem. I get more school work done in the library, away from the computer. So removing distractions is key for me.

I also find that my brain needs priming, in a way. I need to give myself like 20 minutes of just disciplined work to get myself into productivity mode. That includes writing a piece of information out, over and over again, or reciting something, like I'm teaching to it another. So many issues concerning lack of focus come from just not using our brains correctly. Our brains want to work; we don't let them, most of the time. Brains need stimulation.
