I think the culprit is GitHub notifications. If you are not careful they will pull you in all sorts of directions.
There are some days where I set myself to a task. Open GitHub. Quickly check the notifications because the blue dot grabs my attention. Three hours later it's time to go to bed and I haven't done anything satisfying.
It's fine to fix other people's problem but it also prevents from building deeply meaningful things. Most of the interactions on GitHub are superficial issue discussions.
