Distraction

Distraction refers to a diversion of attention from a primary task or focus to something else, often prompted by external stimuli or internal thoughts. It interrupts concentration, making it harder to complete tasks efficiently and accurately. Distractions can be visual, auditory, or mental, such as noise, notifications, or wandering thoughts. While they are natural, excessive or constant distractions can impact productivity and learning. Managing distractions involves creating a conducive environment, prioritizing tasks, and practicing mindfulness to maintain focus on what truly matters.
