One of the biggest hindrances to our progress and productivity are distractions. These are the things that interrupt our momentum and delay the completion of our goals. Is it something simple that temporarily interrupts your train of thought or is it something bigger that completely derails a course of action? It can be the movement of people while you are speaking, loud noise from another room, an unexpected drop in, a Facebook notification, or anything that we allow to interfere with our concentration.
The truth is that there will always be things to distract us. We get to decide how we will be derailed and for how long. If we want to be successful and feel productive we have to learn how to develop the mental discipline to stay focused when conditions make that practice difficult.
