I think along with what you are saying you need to be realistic and take sufficient breaks otherwise its human nature and your mind will drift.

Good tip there. Start with a smaller list and complete them one by one. Some people start off with a way too big list and end up accomplishing nothing.

That is true. There a good and bad distraction and we have to discipline ourselves to reach our goal.

So true. I know that most people just jump from one idea to next all the time and never finish one thing. They just do not realize they have to work hard finish what they start to see what they can get done. Everyone wants everything now and does not want to work on something so they move on to next idea. Set goals and work on them everyday i only move on to next project when first one is done.

@Stella:

Good tip there. Start with a smaller list and complete them one by one. Some people start off with a way too big list and end up accomplishing nothing.

Why? Because they try to tackle everything in 1 shot – which can be counter-productive. Glad you made this important point.

@John Detitta:
You are sure distractions make you stronger?

@Matt:
I think you hit it rightly when you talked about not spreading yourself too thinly. And that’s what precisely what happens when people try to multi-task too much.

Even now, I’m still guilty of it. It’s a constant battle against distractions…especially now with all the socia media stuff going on!
