How to get rid of distractions?
(A thread)

Distractions are a real thing. They are what you can say - one of the differences of you *not* being in the 1%

You could have great knowledge about subjects but when it comes to execution there would be a gap.

Nevertheless, we're here to improve. And we shall.
Here's how.
(3/n)

Certain things build up and start affecting your concentration and focus. In the small run, you may not realise this.
You'd have lost the drive to do more.
It would be decreasing.

The first step in getting rid of your distractions is acknowledging them.
Yes, they *exist*
There's no point being in denial, nobody's perfect.
(5/n)

Jot down whatever's affecting you to focus. Thoroughly. Even minute things.
(6/n)

Then, eat the biggest frog first.
Identify what's distracting you *majorly*
See what you can do to minimise it if not completely eliminate it.
(7/n)

Make it a point to focus on what really matters, and day by day do everything you can to fuck these distractions.
(8/n)

Remember why you started. A good practice after noting your distractions is to reaffirm to yourself - why you started.
(9/n)

Change your routine. Daily habits. Often the biggest distractions can be eliminated by making small and significant changes to your daily schedule/routine.
Because these don't pop up in a day, these build up.

There's no need to start over.
Don't fall prey to the "abandon ship" mentality as put out by @LifeMathMoney
(11/n)

Get motivated. (Internally/Externally)
The internal drive will add to/help you in the process.
(12/n)

Often, great changes to life do not have to be shaken up in a huge way.
Small yet courageous acts everyday will get you to your destination.
(13/n)

If you follow all the steps and introspect quite often, you can be on your way to the 1%
All the best. Go get rid of these mofo distractions and achieve your goals!

The reason of this thread was that I similarly faced these problems.
Wasn't able to focus,was getting lost. I am in the process of following this method.

Pro tip: Music cancels out the background noise. So if you're having a hard time to focus on what you're doing, plug in those earbuds & do what you had planned to!
Cheers!
