The Distractions of Writing in the Modern World
Nowadays due to technology, distractions are very common. If you are a writer and you are spending most of your time somewhere else, then this is a serious concern, and you must do something about it. It is a challenge we all have to face in our daily lives. In my case, when I finally convinced myself to write my essay or any blog, then there are so many distractions that I have to deal with. Social media, emails and other pop up messages are some of them that we encounter especially while writing something.
Below are some of the distraction that we face on a daily basis while writing something, be it an essay, a research paper or even a blog.
Social Media:
Social media like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are some of the common distractions that we are facing right now. Even if we convince ourselves to write, we will be distracted by the friend requests and the messages or even the emails that we are supposed to respond. There is no way we can keep ourselves away from all these distractions.
Television:
Television is another form of distraction. While writing, if we hear something on TV, then our entire attention is diverted towards it, that can be news or even a movie. We lose our focus and pace and automatically our attention is diverted towards the television.
How to deal with distractions while writing:
Ok so dealing with distractions is not always easy you have to make extra effort to do that. One effective way is to use old PC with no internet connection, no spelling checker nothing. Just sit down and write without being bothered by anything.
Also, learn to control your distraction. Take out some time to deal with them. Figure out all your distractions and note the interesting ones. This way you will also take out some time to refresh yourself by positively utilizing your distractions.
