Ways To Avoid Distraction

Let's be sincere, everyone of us struggle with distraction to some extent. This diversion of attention could be in any form; it could be the phone beeping from messages, or the growling sound our stomach makes from hunger, or the panic and anxiety that creeps in some people, for some certain reasons. Most times, it is the burning desire to peep our social media apps and check who has liked that stunning selfie of ours over the last few hours.

Distraction can even be more abundant when we are away from home, probably in high school or just somewhere distant, facing life thoroughly. Then our minds wander in thoughts of how our families and dear ones are fairing.

But distractions as students, could be one major concern as most times, our schedules are unstructured and we are choked up between meeting up with all that study sessions and cramming all that we are being taught.

Fortunately, there are so many strategies to stay distraction free, or let's say, reduce the distraction rate in our everyday lives.

Identify the Source of Distraction

Firstly, the need to identify the source of distraction is very essential as it could help in variety of ways.

There's a saying that, “half of our problem is solved when we admit and identify that there's actually a problem.” Now, distractions can be external. As listed earlier, noise, stress, hunger or even personal issues could attribute to the loss of interest or absent mindedness when we are involved in primary activities.
