So those kind of things and jumping from one thing to the next thing but also trying to avoid too many screens and forcing them into making stuff from what's going on around the house.

And if you don't understand the distinction between creation and consumption, you end up falling into the consumption trap, whether it be porn or just news or things that feel like you're productive but you're actually just consuming stuff.
