Hey Darktrigger2, I just want to suggest that it's not something you deal with once and it's set for life. You don't develop this kind of faith, and then everything gets easy and you don't have that internal struggle anymore. There will be times you still lose, but I think you're right. If you come to a decision, in the strong sense, then it'll be easier to decide when you're being distracted, and when you're making progress.
Having a main goal is crucial. Then reminding yourself how badly you want it... ideally wanting it more than the other temptations. We'll win some time, lose some time, but keep making progress. If you want to chat more, you can always message me.
