Make a list of todos AND use your calendar app to allocate how, when and for how long will you will work on it. This WHEN is important.
Set alarms for that "when". I set the most irritating alarm on my mobile.
When the alarm rings, I start a timer for 25 minutes.
During the 25 minutes, I force myself to not do anything else. I might not do the intended task but my goal for these 25 minutes is to NOT do anything else. It is either the task or nothing. I am ok with just sitting quietly for 25 minutes, staring at my laptop or the world around me.
Although there are many ways of doing it, I prefer using the Chrome extension for BetterToday.app (One of my older apps that I created a few years ago). The Chrome extension is a new tab replacement so every time I open a new tab while surfing Netflix or Reddit, I get to see my entire day in one place :)
This is how I handle it.

This works for me.
