You make a choice. We choose to be or not to be distracted. The power to choose. Amen

It's Helpful

I really enjoyed this video! There are some really valuable thoughts here. I would like to ask a question... Idea #1 was to start with the input...how much time you have available for each task...however, if yo don't start with the to-do list, how do you know which tasks you need to do to know how much time you will have/need to do them? I would love some clarification on this.

I loved the intro

I am really fighting with distraction. .and hope these tricks help

Every word is true

your advice great

Perfect ideas for the Speaking test in Ielts!

I love these vids

Why am I very distracted? I have a lot of interests and some school stuffs. When I try to do school works, I easily get distracted with a topic that is related to what I like. I even schedule things to refrain myself from getting distracted. But it doesn’t work sometimes. I would just say “meh, I’ll do it tomorrow”. Also, I have exams for tomorrow. Why am I distracted by a video about how to not get distracted?

Good way.. Saying personality I have separated my facebook time, similarly if we load the video we want to see in offline it help us away from distraction, pre plan of brewers use can be another remedy

Last line hit me hard😂

Estou vendo isso no exato momento que deveria esta estudando

It’s true that we will never have any temptation or distraction we cannot overcome :))

This will help me not get distracted by henry stickmin

Distraction-Proofing The Mind 1. Plan your day, compute the output (tasks to be done) and input (time available to do it) together and make a schedule to distribute both 2. Use social media and read emails at set times so you don't do it just because you're bored 3. Surf the urge, notice the sensation of wanting to be distracted, stop it and refocus oneself 4. Beware of 'liminal' moments: transitioning from one task to another, when the time of starting the next comes stop the transitional task you've been doing or else it'll become a distraction 5. Remember you're not powerless, technology is not distracting us just because it wants to (external triggers), we are the ones using it as an instrument to distract ourselves with because want it to so that we can escape our uncofmortable emotional states (internal triggers) "So, don't believe this line: there's nothing we can do. Clearly, there's so much we can do to help make sure that we got the best out of these products without letting them get the best of us."

how informative

Thanks for the tips, bjt beamng released a new update and i recently bought some new speakers this i love

Tge problem with believing you have the power to stop is that when you try to believe it you just can't find any earlier concrete success you had

I'm distracted by colleagues, should I replace said colleague with a cactus plant? Oh wait, look internally, hmmm... I have a magnetic charming personality - stop being too good looking!!! Whoops, can't be helped. Distraction accepted. :)

Distracted in 15 seconds, started commenting

This year is the worst for me because online learning is limiting me from many places i would go to in order to work productively.

I am happy I didn't got distracted while watching the video. It was catchy. I am feeling lonely. I am distracted. I check social media way too much. I am unable to concentrate . But I will soon .

Me 2 seconds after starting: SASAAAAGEYO SASAAAAGEYO- WAIT LEMME LOOK SOMETHING UP- *has a whole ass musical*

Ok that a sign that I have to get back to work and stop being distracted.. bh a video about not being distracted 😂

Can somebody explain the "surfing the urge"? (I really tried to understand the guy but the english is not my language)

Absolutely loved this video. Thank you so much for this valuable information. Lots of love from an Australian 🇦🇺😀❤

Nice Hicky :D.

Hello, folks! Where could I find whole journal/at least summary of beliefs as a predictor of relapse for free? Thank you!

my first Learning....of 2022

I was sat in English and I was looking around at the teachers outside of my classroom and they looked at me and started chatting to each other while still looking at me and it looked like they were saying why is she looking at us I hate it so much I keep looking around at people that distract me and they think I’m just staring at them 😭 and to make it worse I keep getting told off for “staring out of the window” or at nothing at all :c it’s made my day so much worse on the first day back to school too
