common distractions of mine
The Bed
can cause you to fall asleep when tired even if you have something important that's due tomorrow
we go to it from a long day of school, work, or running multiple errands
Is comforting due to the warmth and comfort of it
People might turn to the excuse that "the house could be too cold" which might cause them to want to do homework assignments in bed due to the comfort it feels but end up feeling too relaxed to where they end up falling asleep
Internet
can cause you to have your mind focused on something else when doing a task or trying to start a task
Why people go to this option when wanting to finish a task
People might want to go to the internet just to watch a YouTube video so that the task they have at hand could become a little more exciting due to how the excitement of the YouTube video gave them
People might want to text their friend due to that person having other stuff going on in their mind like "what is that person up to" which causes them to have a conversation with that friend that could last up to hours
music
can cause you to zone out or vibe to a certain song when working
Having your music loud might also tune you out of doing a task
We sometimes go to music to stay focused and to block background noise but can sometimes still come off as a distraction
streaming services or television
Similar to the internet this could also be the same cause as getting distracted
A new season of your favorite television series might have come out and it might cause you to become hyped to where you start to binge watch it causing you to not finish or start that task
Drawing
Some people, when writing or doing a math assignment on paper might want to urn their brains off and think of something else with their imagination causing them to draw
Emails
Emails can cause you to become distracted especially when a package hasn't come in the mail yet and you are constantly checking your emails to check for an update
sleeping in general
you might be too tired to even triumph or finish that tesk
you might promise yourself "one or two hours of sleep won't hurt" but then you might oversleep causing you to not finish a task
Is honestly a way to deal with stress as a whole
hanging out with a family member or friend
that family or friend might want to go out to restaurant, shopping or watch a movie
which could cause you to agree with hanging out with them which could ultimately take time out of your day causing you to not finish that task
getting distracted by little simple things or objects
Even objects like an eraser or tape could make you fiddle around with it or play with it if you are super board.
This was usually me when I was a kid before I even had a phone & I had to finish an assignment
making excuses when you have the right amount of time to finish an assignment
If it's a Friday and the weekend is coming up and an assignment is due on a Monday you might make an excuse like "I have all weekend to do it. I can get it done then"
This could sometimes cause you to do an assignment at the last minute as you might be too tired over the weekend due to how long the weekdays were
video games
might cause you to want to go to them wanting to finish a level of a video games which could drive you away from finishing a task
food
might cause that person to want to get up and cook a meal that could take up to an hour to make
might cause that person to want to watch television while eating even though an assignment could be due the next day
multitasking
video games
How I could resist these distractions
Setting a timer for when I should take breaks and for when I should get back to that assignment
Using an audible when trying to read a long essay for school/ college so you don't get bored or tired
