atimes i look back at the times of my parents and grand parent and sincerely speaking I believe they were at an Advantage than us...cause back then the distractions was minimal to an extend, atleast they never had social media then, cause if you ask me 80% of all distractions emanate from there, alltho I won't rule out social media to mean all bad, there are tons of advantages but the flip side of the coin shows people's perception of what's going on in the space.
in a world filled with so many distractions, chaos, unrest, greed, selfishness, theft etc how I stay focused is basically on my plans, ny goals, my projection of the future, my ambitions propects etc.
right from when I was little I have always been a futuristic person, I plan ahead i safe up every penny, I raise the bar of my expectations I aim high so all these helped set my mind on these things and to achieve them, for instances back then I was the first person to have purchased a brand new mobile device, not fairly used as others do, I saw this phone, I liked it, I enquire of the price I saved up for a period of time then the money was complete went and purchased it, by these time there was a lot of distractions to have used the money for something else but I refused cause my mind was set on something.
it's very hard to manage distractions these days especially with the outbreak of social media, mobile phones, mobile games, a lot of leisure parks, cinemas, seat out, friends, acquaintances colleagues, clubs I can go on and on on the least of things that causes distractions, not like they are all bad but how we respond to them, the degree to which we give our selves to them, leaving behind what's most important at the time being .....
FIVE WAYS HOW I MANAGE DISTRACTIONS
My Mindset: I am someone that have a very determined mindset, I can go 100% focused on a thing till I achieve, I don't care what's infront, behind or beside me, I have the ability to filter the noise around me, shut down every other thing and go all out for what I want to see happen in my life.
Goal-oriented: recall I shared how I bought my first mobile phone brand new many years ago, that was just one of my achievements, I have bought a laptop single handedly, without a support from anybody, I am always goal oriented, I set goals and pursue them with everything I have this helps me stay on tack amidst so many distractions, and each goal accomplished raises the bar higher.
I dare Things: one thing I'm sure of is I have a daring mindset, like I'm not scared of anything, I strongly believe I can be anything and I can achieve anything I set my mind on, most importantly I aim so high for big things, I dare to advanced, I dare to do more because of these determined mindset nothing else matters.
Priorities & scale of preference this is how I survive in a world of so many distractions by setting everything based on their importance, my scale of preference are very important because it helps me give more attention to what's most important at a particular time period, priorities helps me with my activities and how I get things done as at when due and necessary.
Time Management where a person does not understand what time management is he or she is likely to accept and do everything whenever it pops up, everything goes, whatever it is, can do anything anytime anywhere and anyhow to me such a person can never achieve anything solid, when it's time for what I have to do, I let go of another thing, I am so time conscious that I can't play with my precious time, I have to make diligent use of every second of my day cause I'm result oriented.
