7 Ways to Remove Distractions for Better Energy Focus
Remove distractions to create better energy focus. Distractions divide your attention. You lose momentum. According to Gloria Mark, a leader in interruption science, the average knowledge worker switches tasks every three minutes, and, once distracted, a worker takes nearly a half-hour to resume the original task.
You may not want to remove distractions for all situations. For instance, distractions can be helpful for temporarily removing anxiety. For example, a doctor may engage in small talk with a toddler while he administers an injection on her arm. He draws her attention away from any pain that she may feel. She feels a prick but her attention is placed on the conversation with the doctor. For her “good” behaviour, she also gets a lollipop at the end of the session with her doctor.
However, in the situation where you are hoping to manifest a dream or goal, becoming distracted and losing focus is not helpful. It is best to remove distractions to get them out of the way. When you are distracted, you put attention on ideas, activities and paths that are not aligned with your original intent. You waste time. You can end up going in circles. Consequently, you take a longer time to attain success…if at all.

How to Overcome the Fear of Failure
Does the fear of failure stop you from venturing forth?
The fear of failure often strikes with terror. A shiver goes down your spine. You break out in profuse sweat. Your imagination goes on the overdrive. Whether the trial you are undergoing is a big or small one, you feel faint from the thought of being seen as a failure in life.
The fear of failure may not all that negative. For instance, it can spur you to overcome your barriers and conquer new heights. I believe it was how I have studied and passed my examinations relatively well while in school. However, in the recent years, I realised that being motivated by fear may not exactly be the best way to go about living. I have also found that my children do not respond too well when fear is being used to get them to study or to instil some of discipline. With awareness, I intend to be mindful about not using fear on them.

After two hours or so during a weekend afternoon, he had completed his board. At first, Charlie felt happy that he had done his part.
