How to Stay Focused When the Internet Wants Your Attention

Strategies to Maintain Focus in a World of Digital Distractions

Have you ever had one of those days where you can’t seem to get anything done? At every turn, there’s another distraction.

For example, say you’re just starting your day, and you hear a text notification. You pick up your phone to check the text, but then notice you have emails, one of which you have been anxiously awaiting. So you start to check your emails, when your alarm goes off reminding you to take your vitamins. So you walk into the kitchen to get your vitamins and notice the laptop laying on the table. This makes you think about the project you were going to work on today, and since you’re getting a late start you decide to send a text to let someone know you’re running late. Then when you look at your phone you notice the first text that came in this morning that you haven’t answered yet.

Does this sound familiar? That’s why finding ways to manage your time and limit distractions, might help you to be more productive.
