Distractions

I have stopped all distractions, comfortably termed as multitasking. Focusing on the task and path at hand, I move more efficiently and I would say more productively. Cutting back on all the excesses and the un-important activities saves a lot of time, brings me to my goal faster, helps me develop and evolve more, sharpens my mind and skills, develops focus and overall improves me as a person.

For some people, this would not apply as they already are focused and impervious to these distractions naturally, however, I would say for most of us, we are sucked into the seemingly endless options of distractions. An example of which would be online games, social networking sites and even the mundane reading news. Let’s take reading news as a case in point, it would seem harmless but if after awhile you would realize that an hour has already passed. Another obvious example would be facebook, if you don’t control yourself, you’ll be wasting hours and hours(Don’t think these are the distractions I stopped ^_^).

This would most probably apply to almost everything we do, even the most mundane and simple things. Although It would seem hard to stop at first, and it would feel like you have withdrawal syndrome, which would indicate you are already addicted to it. There would also be times when the distraction tempts you a lot, to the point that it would be unbearable. But stays the course, do not be swayed, have faith, focus and think of something else.

You can use the time saved to do the more important things in life, socialize face-to-face and not online, spend more time with family, learn new things, do your work faster and better and much, much more. This would definitely lead to a much better satisfaction for life and make you much healthier, as stopping all of these will lower down stress levels and give you more time to sleep.

Try it out, it might just brighten your day everyday.
