Get Rid Of Distractions
Do we agree that our common UNKNOWN and UNSEEN enemy are DISTRACTIONS? Regardless of your vocation in life, regardless of your stratum in life, DISTRACTIONS are everywhere BUT the worst thing about DISTRACTIONS is that most of them exist INCOGNITO [NOT until when it strikes you down]πππ
Statistics from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [NHTSA] has been keeping track of how often drivers report using mobile phones while driving. And the numbers are terrifying. Less than 500,000 drivers in the United States are using mobile phones while driving in the U.S. And while all age groups were included in that statistics, teenagers were the age group most prone to use phone while driving. And isn't this scary and terrifying❓❓❓
Now, while it is simply impossible to obliterate DISTRACTIONS in our daily life, the good news is that we can REDUCE it, if only to increase our FOCUS. HOW? Primero, always have a TASK PLAN [the night before] for your next day. Whether it's office work-related or it's related to house repairs, you got to have a PLAN, period. Segundo, TURN OFF DISTRACTIONS, if you can. Controlling your devices and NOT having that technology with you will be a BRAVE action✅✅✅
Tercero. GET COMFORTABLE. That means something different but enough for your comforts, be it the clothes you wear, the music you're listening and even the room temperature if you're working from home. Cuarto. SET MODEST GOALS. Big goals may be great indeed for motivational speeches BUT they DON'T help anyone focus on getting important things done. Consider breaking down your goals to smaller ones so that you can achieve even small milestone successesπππ
Quinta. Use VISUAL REMINDERS. Stuck at the top of your work computer's LCD the three words of 'FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS'. I myself, whenever I face difficulty sticking to a task or I want to escape quickly and get into social media, I would look at that reminder and I'd even repeat those words loud enough for me to hear. That cue did help me many times to GET RID OF DISTRACTIONS as much as possibleπππ
