4 Importance of Eliminating Distractions

It’s Time To Beat Procrastination Day:-5

Photo by Nubelson Fernandes on Unsplash

Greetings writers,

Today’s the fifth day of the theme “Procrastination”. We have come so far and all are ready to work upon ourselves.

We have set our goals and priorities. Now, it's time to beat procrastination.

We are on the track, but unfortunately, we are surrounded by too many distractions. Mobile phones are the biggest distraction nowadays. Calls, messages, notifications and the list goes on. We are with this biggest distraction of all the time, at the office, in our house, or even when we go to the gym. We are with our phones all the time.

“Social media enables us to talk about issues, shine a light on problems, and raise awareness of struggles that might have gone unnoticed. On the flipside, it also allows for a lot of noise and distractions. Sometimes it doesn’t create the best environment for a healthy discussion and can lead to trolling”.

-Jagmeet Singh

Sometimes, I wonder that what will happen if there will be no smartphones in the world? We will have so much time to work on ourselves.

At the moment, we are ready to achieve our goals because we have our topmost priorities and motivation sorted. So nothing can stop us. However, just one single distraction is enough to break our focus & concentration.

Therefore, before we achieve our goals, we have to remove all the distractions around us.

Successful people know how to handle distractions. That’s the reason behind their success.

“Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them”.

-Jack Canfield

What happens when you remove all the distractions from your life?

Here are some of the benefits of eliminating distractions.

  1. Improves your concentration/focus

When you don’t have any distractions around you, you are more focused on what you are doing.

With these new technological advancements, we are reducing our attention span every day. Being distracted in this digital world we are losing our important concentration. The new short video platforms are the worst thing of all time. It’s hard to accomplish any task without concentration and sharp focus.

“By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination”.

-Christopher Columbus

2. Makes you more productive

When you are surrounded by fewer distractions, you are already focused which will help you to be more productive.

“There are always distractions, if you allow them”.

-Tony La Russa

Try hard to be focused and be more productive.

3. Boosts your energy levels

We reduce our more energy on our distractions rather than on work.

“Whatever you want to do, do with full passion and work really hard towards it. Don’t look anywhere else. There will be a few distractions, but if you can be true to yourself, you will be successful for sure”.

-Virat Kohli

Be true to yourself and work hard. Always look for possibilities rather than distractions.

4. You have more time to spend

When you have fewer distractions, you don’t spend more time on them. I know that sometimes, I spent half an hour just scrolling my Instagram or YouTube.

Therefore, when you don’t have any distractions, you will have more time to spend. You can utilize that time on yourself. You can take a walk in nature or do some meditation.

Today’s prompt is,

Write down all your distractions. Every person has different distractions in their life. Take some time and make a list of it.

Now, make a promise to yourself that whenever you are working on your goals, you will keep all the distractions aside and focus on your work.

You have to be yourself and make this promise. Remember, if you break this promise it will affect your entire schedule.

So, be very careful.

I would like to invite Giulietta Passarelli Erica J Libby Shively McAvoy Colleen Millstead Sorina Raluca Băbău Lucia Landini Hamsalekha Ilana Lydia to share their perspective.

You can take your time to write because I know you all have other responsibilities to fulfill. So, take your time and write.

Always grateful for your support.

Thanks
