dəˈstrakSH(ə)n/
noun

synonyms: diversion, interruption, disturbance, interference, hindrance
"a distraction from the real issues" - 2.extreme agitation of the mind or emotions."he knew she was nervous by her uncharacteristic air of distraction"You see the definition above, distractions prevents someone from giving full attention to something. Distractions aren't necessarily a bad thing. They help us out when we're going through things, they help with pets, babies, children, conversations, and so on. However, they can also stop processes, eat away at valuable time, meeting deadlines and much more.
Recently, I've found myself getting more and more distracted throughout the day. Have you ever gone on Facebook with the intention of doing one thing, then you see a post by someone or an advertisement and the next thing you know, almost an hour has passed and you've just been scrolling away? It happens a lot with YouTube and other social media sites (don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about ).
It happens. Everyone at some point has gotten way distracted and killed minutes, hours, even days, never completing what it was you were trying to do in the first place. So you see, distraction can be a vicious cycle. But does it have to be? Whenever you're distracted, there's a point during your distraction where you know you need to stop, yet continue on in what you're doing. What if in that moment, you stopped the distraction and got back to the task at hand? It's absolutely doable, you just have to make it happen.
With that said, I think I'm going to take a page out of my own book. This blog has now come to a close and now. Instead of going on the internet and spending hours looking at stupid websites, I'm getting ready to work out and be productive.
