One other so obvious it’s useful pattern is just to leave my phone somewhere inaccessible (not in the room I’m working at). Leave it charging in the bedroom. I’m less likely to get diverted to “research” something I want to know.

Yeah, there’s no one path to what DOES work (and with ADD etc strategies have to be revised when they stop working after a month, year, etc) but there are some commonalities in antipatterns we can recognize in ourselves and route around.
It’s inevitable!

As I reach the end of scrolling the last 88 posts, I’m now concerned by the realization of how much I hyperfocus on threads about GAS.

If I could like/heart this more than once I would! All (solvable) problems are usually coordination problems…

You can always get help from outside…
my suggestion is an old mixer, some cheap pedals (distortion/delay) and make feedback. tones as heavy as all the synths you’re thinking about for far cheaper and probably unique to you - and analog - I don’t think a computer will get u what you want, i’ve tried. Boss Bx-8 made the heaviest basses i’ve made and i regret selling it.

there really isn’t anything wrong with hyper focusing on something you’re passionate about, especially something like music… from a simple joy to a discipline and everything in between by it’s very nature it is a special experience… I hyper focus on it deliberately and simultaneously hyper focus on not hyper focusing on anything else and my life has been enriched because of it in a myriad of ways.
I feel like just having the knowledge that one day it wil have to stop is a tradgedy within itself.
