There are distractions all around us. Some distractions are constant, while others might pop up out of no where. For example, constant distractions we have all the time is our cellphones. People are constantly trying to get in contact with us about different things. This is a distraction that some people don’t use in the right way. Instead of being on twitter, Facebook, snap chat, or Instagram, use your cellphone as a tool to get your work done. An example of something just popping up could be a family issue, or something going on at your house that you can’t take care of. It’s something that is on your mind constantly for a short period of time and it makes it hard to work. In these situations, it’s important to take a day off for yourself if you have the opportunity. We all need a break sometimes to get our thoughts together.

I have had many distractions in my life time. It can make it extremely hard to work because things can constantly be on your mind. It’s the only thing you can think about but yet you have to get a lot of work done still. It’s hard because the world around you can’t understand sometimes what you are going through but expect you to get your work done. It’s important to understand that these distractions will go away. Keep working to try to get your mind off of it, and always put forth the most effort you possibly can during these times. Something I have gotten good at since I came to college is using my phone as a contact point. I no longer play games on my phone. I use my phone for social media, texting, and emails.

I see a lot of people who cause distractions for themselves. One of the biggest is playing games on their phones or computers. If you can stop creating distractions for yourself, you will find that it’s easy to get work done. Staying focused is hard enough as it is, so don’t make it harder for yourself! Get into habits while your young. You will begin to see yourself being more productive. When you get a job or internship you want people to see that you are not easily distracted. Work hard, and make your life easier by cutting out simple distractions.
