1) Consider purchasing a basic cell phone and using it as your primary phone, which you can always carry with you. Leave your smartphone outside of the room when you are studying, practicing, or working. 2) Install a second browser on your computer that you will only use for studying, practicing, and working, and avoid opening your main browser, where you may encounter distractions. 3) Ask your relatives to not disturb you during particular period of time during the day. 4) Create a plans for your day, week, month and quarter(moreover, consider quarters like 4 mini-new years throughout the whole year). Even if you only complete 10% of your plan, it's still a victory, because this will help establish a habit that will continue to grow over time, and soon the percentage of completion will increase and might be close to 90%. (with this im still struggling after 6 months of attempts to stick to this habit, even with this inconsistency it still give me super boost to my productivity and vision of where im going) 5) When you will do all of the above, as a result you will have a time without main distractions and a plan of actions to do. Spend time wisely. There’s always not enough of it.
LUNA 3.0?
For those of you using LUNA, make SURE to check out the new LUNA 3.0 - I've always used Ableton, but got LUNA to have a look about 6 months ago. As with all things UA, it's tied to a lot of their other products, but it seems like the new version has been changed to be simpler to use. Woth a look...

I like how the LUNA evolves. I upgraded to LUNA Studio for 3 bucks and have tested new features. 6-Track Stem Separation, Audio-to-MIDI, Chord Extraction and Lyric Transcription are working with great results. I really enjoyed LUNA Play feature, it is cool workflow for starting songs. I'm thinking about to use it more often. HOWEVER, I have the problem with LUNA that I can't fix for many months: LUNA doesn't see about 160 of my third-party plugins from my entire collection of 553 plus-ins, both AU and VST3. I did all the suggestions from UA Support Bot and articles, I did reinstall daw, nothing works, and for some reasons UA support doesn't replay to me. What more strange is that I installed from UA Connect ChordAXE Lite and VoiceAssist plug-ins that were in LUNA Studio bundle and LUNA plug-in manager see them only in AU format, but not in VST3, while both formats are enabled in setting and files are exists in VST3 folder in finder. I have Logic, Ableton Live, Fender Studio Pro and all of them see all 553 plug-ins, not any problem at all, but LUNA see only 394 of them. And besides that, I really get used to a lot of features in Fender Studio Pro, that LUNA unfortunately doesn't have yet, like: Splice integration, macros, Event FX, Scratch pad, etc.. So I am not ready to switch and use LUNA as my primary.

Ryan Tedder's Tips For Recording Vocals
I found a cool video where one of my favorite songwriters and producers, Ryan Tedder, gives some very useful tips on vocal recording. - I would never have thought that Waves CLA Vocals is Ryan’s and almost all the producers he’s worked with’s number‑one choice for vocal recording. - Also interesting was his advice not to drink soda an hour before and not to eat hot and spicy food 12 hours before vocal recording.

@Luiza Milenova Agree! I heard about it, that you can eq SM7B in a way that it can closely sound like others mics. That is why i planning to buy this micšŸŽ™ļø It’s sort of alternative to SM7B, but with special software that can emulate different mics. And it will be my first dynamic mic. Now I have only Aston Origin condenser mic.

@Luiza Milenova me too :/ But I am thinking about to activate demo version of this plugin and build the same chain by ear with plugins that I have.
