Distractions

Distractions are something that make it difficult to think and pay attention.  Distractions are parts of life--no matter what road you are in life; it can be anything, from people, noise, smell, objects, the roads next to your home, etc.  Once we realize something distracts us, our productivity decreases by increments at every minute of it.  It gets in the way of us getting our work done, it disturbs our concentrations and even prevent us from doing what is necessary for us. For instance, distractions at work is a big hindrance for employees to get work done; in fact, if a coworker comes by your cubicle to chat about last weekend and you find yourself in a position where you cannot get the report in to the supervisor on time, that will hurt your work ethics and may end you up with a written report or even termination from the job.  Either we learn how to cope with distractions or they will get us and hurt us.
