Distractions are probably the worst factor killing your success. Distractions are even worse the procrastination and bad company and drugs!

When you take your eyes off your goal and specially off your work, you are hanging yourself to death!

Distractions are deadly in every walk of life. If you are driving a car, you only need one second of distraction to kill yourself and maybe someone else too.

In work, it only takes a few minutes of distraction to get your competitors ahead of you.

In sports it takes eve less than a second to have your competitors ahead of you.

Distraction is not the opposite of attention. When you are distracted from your work you are still paying attention, but to something else.

So to eliminate distraction, you need to eliminate all the things that direct your attention from your work to something else.

The U.S Army in the submarines never allow the pilot to see or to get more than 14 intakes of information. Before reading one piece of information, the pilot must finish the previous one and so forth.

Unimportant parts of information of the submarine are not sent to the pilot screen, instead they are sent to someone else as well as not important information.

To reduce all the distractions in your office, start your your computer. Have no icons, no shortcuts, no beautiful images, do not have anything that will direct your attention to it. Keep a black wallpaper and keep only the critical buttons to your work and you will see how fast you work from now on.

To see how bad distractions are for you in your daily life, try to get information like your car Speed in the middle of hundreds of different numbers and beautiful images. It will take longer and it will be painful for your eyes and brain.
