Do you get sidetracked easily? Have you ever experienced sitting down to do your work, but finding that so many other things are more interesting? This happens to me quite often. I have one simple solution to it. Keep reading to find out what it is!

Why it sucks…

Getting distracted can really get in the way of accomplishing your goals. Heck, it can get in the way of living life. It can stop us from reaching our potential, and it can even make us question if we want to. Why can it do all of that? Because it’s easier to get distracted than it is to get stuff done. I know this well because I face it every day. It sucks, but there is a way to overcome it.

Create your working habitat…

Think about what your most common distractions are, and remove them from your physical space. Physically make your workspace conducive to productivity. This will help you reduce the temptation to procrastinate. However, it will not stop resistance.

What’s resistance?

Resistance is the force within you that leads you to distractions. It is the part of you that resists growth and change. This resistance cannot be overcome by a change in habitat, it’s more than that. You have to push through it. You have to self motivate just enough to sit down and work. Once you start things get much easier. So, you just have to start.

A challenge…

Examine your space, and yourself. Remove physical distractions then get to work. Do not let the process of removing distractions, become a distraction. Just get to work and watch how it changes your life.
