No Distractions
Unwanted distractions that you can control are the greatest detriment to your focus. Turn off your email alerts or simply ignore them. Let phone calls go to voice-mail check them later. Block out a period of time where you notify people that you do not wish to be disturbed except in an emergency. Self-discipline is required as well as self-awareness. Do not become your own greatest distraction. If you know you need to exercise or have some form of physical activity so you are not consistently getting up walking around or having unnecessary conversations then make that a priority with your planning. Get your socializing and exercise out of the way so you can be calm and focused with your needs having been met if that is your personality.

Know what your needs are according to your personality address them so you are not distracted by them. As Shakespeare said “to thine own self be true!”
