??A Simple Trick To Fight Distraction

Hey friends??

I have been enjoying figuring out ways and hacks to be healthier, happier, and accountable and as well share with you what has worked for me.

So recently, I have been struggling with being intentional about letting flimsy distractions and excuses ruin my day.

It’s literally easy when you are working with your phone and a notification pops up and you rush to view it.

But it’s kinda difficult to avoid checking that notification especially when your phone is right there staring at you.

?

Often, you find yourself scrolling through Instagram or Facebook just to catch the latest trend and before you know It, two hours are gone and you begin to question yourself on what you were actually doing?? ♀?

?

Instead of repeatedly doing this, there is something you can do to help you combat this.

When you see yourself easily distracted by something, ask yourself this question, “What should I be doing right now?”

?

This question will help you know if you are on track or not.

If that which got your attention should be what you are to do, then that’s a plus for you.

Example could be

?If scrolling on Facebook and learning key points from people you admire should be what you should do at that time, then that means it wasn’t just a distraction but a reminder to do that within that time. It shows you are being intentional

?

In other cases, if your answer to the question above is, “No, I shouldn’t be scrolling on Facebook but going through a course I purchased for example on how to earn passive income, then that becomes a distraction.

?

With this thought, you are most likely to quit scrolling on Facebook and go focus on that course.

?

But to help you more as well, you can place your phone on do not disturb that is, if you would be using your phone to catch up on the course, or put your phone on airplane mode and keep it somewhere else where you won’t fetch it easily and place your phone down, that is if you would be working with your laptop or another gadget.

?

I really like this tactic as it reminds you that you are in control of your time and can choose what shouldn't distract you.

?

You can choose to always distract yourself and waste your precious time because this is something you can’t get back or give yourself a little nudge to remind you that you are always in control each day.

?

Now, we also have what I call “Welcome” and “Unwelcome” distractions

?

Welcome distractions could be you picking up a call from your family members whom you haven’t seen in a while.

Now this works if you have been on a particular work or project for almost the whole day. It will seem like taking a break from that work as it will literally help you cool off and come back feeling energized with creative ideas to continue with it.

?

Unwelcome distractions could be your friends calling you out for a hangout and obviously, you have several things to tick off for the day which you haven’t even started to work on.

The simple trick is to say NO without the feeling you are hurting anyone.

If you are being intentional about your life and how you spend your time, you should know what to prioritize and choose between that or what drains your energy or distracts you from focus.

However, you can schedule another time with your friends and take a break later.

?

You can also try time blocking,

This is where you schedule out every part of your day and it will help you protect your time against anything that could distract you, and help stay on track.

?

Have you figured out what always distracts you?

What would you do differently in order not to let it ruin your plans or day?
