7 Ways to Stay Away from Distractions:
1. Take one thing at a time
Instead of doing multi-tasking cut the things down to one. Do one thing at a time and focus completely on that.

4. Prioritize the things
Prioritize the things for your needs. Do the things first which are important most. And take those things to last which are unnecessary. Now make a proper schedule for the day.
How does it help?
When you prioritize the things and make a schedule, it implies a responsibility on you that you have to complete those things. No matter what the situation is. You keep yourself focused.
5. Block distracting websites and applications
In our daily life, we have to use the internet. This has become an essence of our life. But as the internet is important for us, it is also the most distracting platform.
How many times does this happen to you that, you search something on the internet, but after some time you end up on something else? You think that you will do it for just 2 or minutes, but end up using it for more than half an hour.
To keep yourself away from this trap of distractions, you can block or hide distracting websites and applications for a while.

Make up your mind on these words, “If you didn’t do the work now, it will never get done.” And you will see the results yourself.
7. Break it Down
