This is not about having them because we all do. This is more to do with removing distractions to focus on what you need to. Distractions can be like a car wreck to progress. This is not to say that some distractions can be good and sometimes we need to unwind but when a day or two turns into a week.
One of the best ways to know about your distractions would be to write down what you do. This would be from waking up to going to bed. I know this might seem a bit tedious but after a few days, you will know what you need to remove.
You might be trying to work out more but can’t find the time. When you look at your day you see that you spend 30 minutes reading the news. Now it might be important for you to know what is going on in the news but for most of us, it does not affect our lives. So instead of reading it you choose to listen to it while you work out.
My Distractions
I struggled with freeing up my time with time on my phone it was playing games and social media. So to help me see what I was spending time on I turned on-screen time (iPhone feature). I did not like how many hours I was doing those different things, so I decided to uninstall the apps that were distracting.
This goes back to last week when I talked about goal setting and how it is best to start now. This could be one of your goals to cut some distractions in your life. I know that you have more control than you think you do and you can do this.
