Cutting Out Distractions While Blogging - Save An Hour Of Time
Published on April 9, 2021

I realized today as I finished writing my blog article, that I would have saved over an hour of time had I not allowed distractions to get in the way.
I'm all about saving time. However, I spent a good amount of it responding to messages via text and FB messenger. I also kept noticing updates on my phone. It could be the weather or a YouTube video posted by a channel I follow.
All of this stuff could wait. And I bet my blog article would have been even more focused had I just kept going without responding to external stimulants.

It's not easy to just write for 2 hours straight, but I'm sure there are better ways to take breaks. Texts, messages, and phone alerts are more of distractions.
We live in a world filled with push notifications. Even Alexa lets me know when a package has arrived from Amazon.
So, if there's a lesson here...
I think next time before I write, I'll set my phone to "do not disturb" mode and see how that changes things. Or maybe I'll place it across the room. If that alone saves a full hour of time, then it's worth it.
