I think that there are remedies to overcome your situation.

First of all try to remove the source of distraction and force yourself to take only one thing at a time. Open a webpage and read it entirely, read a book from start to finish (not necessary in a single day), try to work on your tasks without background music or podcast. Eliminating the distraction usually improve productivity.

Second try meditation. You can think that is a "radical chic" rubbish, but it really works. Start reading "Zen and Japanese Culture" and "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" and try to practice meditation, maybe with the help of an expert. You will see an improvement on focus and clear thinking.

Third, take time off your pc. If you understand that most of what you doing in front of the PC is not valuable, just close it and go out, or read a book, practice sport, cook, etc. Learn to recognise when you're waisting time and do something else. Try to make time at the pc more valuable. Use it for coding and research, not much more.

Improvements take time and consistency. We're used to get everything fast, but your cannot buy self-improvement in a course or a book. So start with basic steps and stop complaining.

So magicbell is a dropdown displayed with an API? $99 /month for 2000 users? I don't understand what problem is trying to solve your startup. To me it seems that you're trying to sell a library more than a service.

I feel jealousy in your words. Tesla is a cool electric car. That's it. Everyone else is still producing using fossil fuel cars but the trend is going in different directions (for a very good reason). So I genuinely can’t understand what is the problem with Tesla. I just hope other car companies stop selling their ass to the fuel moguls. P.S. I'm not a Tesla owner or a Elon toady

You know what are the main elements of an electric car? Battery and electric motor. Dyson uses them in every product. So it's in the business more that you think. And another great skill of dyson is the design. And the CEO is one of the most famous in the world. So battery, motor and design makes a good electric car. At least in theory...
