Learning how to overcome distractions and stay focused is an important capability to develop for every business owner and leader. Your ability to stay focused and manage distractions is a critical factor in whether you achieve a productive day or not.

On this episode, I will be talking about different places distractions can be found and the effects. Let jump into it.

Distractions can seem impossible to avoid. Statistics show that distractions cause a massive loss in productivity. The typical manager is interrupted every eight minutes, and employees generally spend 28 percent of their time dealing with unnecessary interruptions and trying to get back on track.

Distraction is caused by: the lack of ability to pay attention; lack of interest in the object of attention; or the great intensity, novelty or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention. Distractions come from both external sources, and internal sources.
