Distractions

Distractions can keep up us from focusing on what we need to do. It can keep us from being productive, creative, and accomplished.

In order to free ourselves from distractions, we must remove the distractions from our space. If that’s not possible, we must be somewhere where there are no distractions. For some people, distractions can be sounds or visuals. For other people, they can be their own thoughts.

Those thoughts can take up mental space, mental energy. They can be about something we want to buy, or an idea that has been pressing on our mind. To free ourselves from these, we need to block them out–focus on the task at hand. We must not give them the emphasis and attention they seek. We need our mind to be on a single track. We need to have tunnel vision.
