3. Your Cell Phone

We continuously get interrupted by phone calls. Your cell phone might distract you every time it receives an sms. Some might have special apps installed on their mobile devices that keep sending notifications or reminders. It is close to impossible to stay indifferent to the signals sent to us by our phones.

How to fix the issue: Start using caller ID. In this case calls that are not urgent will be sent to voicemail. Even a better option is to mute your cell phone so that the ringtone couldn’t distract you from more important issues. Set aside specific times to listen to your voicemail messages. 

4. Stress

If the level of stress and tension is extremely high, it becomes difficult to stay focused on your projects. More than that, stress and tension reflects on your health and physical condition. You feel tense from head to toe and suffer from frequent headaches.

How to fix the issue: Reduce stress and tension by applying special techniques. Control stressful thoughts that swarm in your head and steal your attention and energy. Practice meditation and improve your skills to concentrate. Find a local meditation course or download meditation classes from the Internet.
