Summary:
when we start to do a task, we generally tend to get distractions because of stimuli which could be internal or external. This stimuli demands attention and nudges us to take action in that regard. This is in layman terms getting distracted from a task. So to control distractions from external stimuli, one can remove such objects from your sight and your reach like your mobile, video games, etc.
But the actual problem comes with internal stimuli aka our thoughts, as we cant just remove our brain and keep out of reach right. So Dr. Jeevan suggests 3 techniques, which i feel are doable and interesting. He is calling it Behavioral inhibition. 
There are 3 techniques:
1. Keep a note of all the thoughts which demanded your attention and nudged you to act, especially the important ones. So that you can take care of them after your task is done.
2. MOST IMPORTANT AND TOUGHEST OF THE THREE IMO. Train outside work as well. Means try to train your mind not to act immediately after every stimuli. like for example: if you feel like eating something now, eat after a delay of 30mins. or If you dont wanna go to the gym, it is exactly when you must go to the gym.
3. Mindfulness. A kind of meditation. Just close your eyes and focus on your breath. Thoughts will arise, but just reshift your focus on to your breath. This will teach and train your mind to focus on one thing at a time.

You can reduce the frequency of intrusive thoughts by resting more, relaxing more, and addressing these thoughts at other times so they don't accumulate in your mind. This way you will have more free working memory which is basically attention. You shouldn't force your attention, you naturally pay attention to things that add value to you so you can finally grow. But if there are many things in your mind and you are used to accumulating them unfinished, then basically you are constantly in a hellish mental state. Spend your free time unwinding, relaxing, you will find new way of seeing things and your attention and memory will go up. You should trust me because this is basic logic.

Can you make a video on stopping procrastination? I am sure we all be grateful for it. With your knowledge and expertise the video will be insightful!

@videosuperfast

This is golden advice. Thanks for explaining it in such an easy to understand manner Jeevan.

@Kaz-fb9lz

I found this really helpful, applying this will make a big difference in my life.  Was so clearly explained and demonstrated.  You have a great communication style, thank you

@wingofafly

Great tips (although I wouldn't call them brutal). I didn't think of writing distracting thoughts down. I would add that, like muscles, the mind needs rest, so plan in downtime to allow your mind to wander freely.

@excelsior_997

Dang! I wasnt even able to finish the whole video without getting distracted. I didn't read the comments, but i sat and thought about some things and then replayed the video.

@floof3167

What about when you completely lose focus but with no stimuli? When you just sit there staring through whatever you were studying in complete silence both externally and internally.

@Rockymutum.

Thanks doctor idk why but my mind or heart whtever it is feels right and thinks this can be done practically not a bunch of words that made confuse just the practical things again thank you

@armyyyyyyyyyyyy

Beautifully explained

@Itsdevesh777

Thanks doctor❤

@gediminaskulakauskas8799

Please also talk about the part of starting tasks, avoidance, internal discomforts. In this video, you've covered so much cool stuff in-depth about various stimuli and our responses. This made me wonder- what is the process that our brains/bodies go through when we have a task that we set out to do, and when the time comes, we become avoidant, quickly switch focus on something else or sit in this uncomfortable situation of knowing that we should do; yet, not willing to do that right away? I hope the question makes sense.

Watch in 1.5x

@beverlyhelm5287

I’m babysitting my 4 and 5 year old grand babies.  I’ve tried watching this 3X…had to take a walk around the block, help them change into swimsuits and got them out to the backyard to play in the water, drew pictures and made them into Japanese lanterns…now, I’m out to the mood to watch it

How to grow your attention span:
Find a looooooong book series or webnovel series (6+ books or a few hundred chapters of more than 1k words)
Read that, and dont change the activity when you think about doing something else (unless it is time based, like going to your part time job or going to the kitchen to eat dinner)
