focus

   There are so many daily distraction when I am doing my homework. There's my phone, the television, computer, and well anything actually. All it takes is for something to catch my eye and I will completely disregard my homework and by the time I know it thirty minutes have passed and I have made no progress on my homework. It's really hard for me to stay focused on one thing for a long period of time, so even if their is nothing to distract me, I would probably still find something to look at or just get distracted by the thoughts in my head.
   Orlick's distraction plan gave me the hope that I could complete my homework or studying without any distractions. First I made the list of my distractions and then I identified how I responded to the distractions. When I did this first part I realized that the way I responded to the distractions would keep me away from my studying. My main distraction is my husband because he'll try to talk to me when I'm doing my homework and I am the type of person that needs complete silence. I've even tried to listen to music while studying because I thought it would help and that turned out to be even more of a distraction because I would make up little scenarios in my head. Back to what I was saying, my husband distracts me and every time I would tell him to be quiet I would end up having a conversation with me and this happened every single time. So with the final step I took a different approach to how I studied and it turned out that I could stay focused longer than I thought.  The next time I had homework I went to the Library to do my homework instead of my apartment and the quiet environment helped me to finish it faster than I ever did before. The word I used to stay focused was "focus", I know that's not very creative but it was the only work that helped me finish my homework without distractions. I would say that the only low to my experience was that I was the only one in the library at the time doing my homework and it made me just want to go outside and see actual people. I have to say that the next time I do my home work I will definitely use this method again.
