Distractions

Distractions

As writers or anyone who is working towards a specific goal has not run into distractions along the way?!  However, these distractions can sometimes cause additional problems in other areas of your life, career or future goals.  For instance, I found that several days this week I encountered so many distractions, to the point where I didn't want to be bothered with anyone or anything.  Now...from a business mindset, we cannot allow this to happen because it disrupts productivity, whether for yourself or someone that is waiting for something specific from the provider.  Just as with anything else in life, everything has a cause and effect.

I'm very interested in finding out what others do in times such as these?  What do you do to get yourself back on track?  Do you take a much needed break?  Or, do you push through the distractions in order to fulfill the business or personal need at hand?  I've found that by making short term goals as early as a week at a time can help in toning down some of the issues that arise.  Some of the things that occur just can't be avoided because we are still people that have other things going on in our lives such as families, other businesses perhaps and the list goes on.  What would you say is the best way to prioritize your life?  Just think, we haven't even discussed the emotional or spiritual difficulties that one may be having simultaneously.
