Phone in a drawer did nothing for me, the cable box is what actually worked

Tbh everyone in here keeps saying put your phone in another room, and I did that for 2 weeks while studying for my insurance exam in Tampa and still got nothing done. The real issue was my laptop, because I would just open YouTube in a browser tab without even thinking about it. What finally worked was unplugging the ethernet cable and handing it to my roommate Dave every night at 7, since I have zero self control if the internet is right there. Ngl it felt stupid at first but I passed the exam on the third try, so has anyone else had to go way harder than just moving their phone?
