“how do I stop watching youtube and being distracted by it I try to replace it with work I already go to the gym but whenever I sit down to work I just say a little bit of youtube then end up on there for 5 hours”

• Block the Feed: Use a browser extension like Unhook or DF Tube (Distraction-Free YouTube). These tools hide the homepage feed, recommendations, and sidebar so the site becomes boring and functional only for direct searches. • Log Out: Sign out of your YouTube account. Without your personalized history and homepage recommendations, it is much less tempting to scroll. • Change Your Work Environment: Do not sit at your personal computer or phone right away. Sit at a clean desk with only the tools you need for the task. Put your phone in another room. • Work in Tiny Blocks: Tell yourself you will work for just 5 minutes without opening a new tab. Often, starting is the hardest part, and momentum takes over once you begin. • Use Website Blockers: Install an app like Freedom or Cold Turkey to block YouTube entirely during your designated work hours.

If you using android use this app from playstore minimalist launcher and if you use it over laptop then you can find extensions for your browser such as unhook which will hide recommendations comments suggestions and all the distracting stuff
