What is a distraction?

Answer 1

Distractions are things that attract your attention and take your mind away from whatever you are trying to do.

Here are some common distractions to our modern life:

• phone conversations - this includes IM, texting, and cellphone headsets
• loud music - background music should be soft enough so that you can barely hear it and not so loud that you keep listening and singing along instead of working
• television
• the internet - it is a proven fact that just having the internet up on a window in your computer will distract you, even if you're not actually doing anything on it! Your mind knows it's there, and keeps wanting to go play.
  
• people around you
