Distraction is the opposite of focus.

When I’m 30 minutes into a session and I answer the phone, check email or start an unrelated conversation, I lose my flow. It takes another 30 minutes to get it back (if I get it back).

Distraction kills productivity and distractions are everywhere.

Example: Facebook encourages me to browse through a never-ending stream of distraction throughout my day. When I spend hours a day on Facebook, I’m training my brain to leap around between shallow topics and accomplish nothing. This is time I could spend reading books, reflecting or being present.

I’m not saying all distractions are bad, but how many hours a day do you willfully spend in distraction mode?

Do you find it hard to focus, to get things done?

Distraction is the opposite of focus.
