7 Tips for Avoiding Distractions

cogwrites:

for the easily distracted writer.
Put your phone on silent and face down.

Disconnect from the internet. If you can’t, be stringent about full-screening your writing program.
Clean your desk or move the clutter out of sight.
Make sure you have everything you need (a drink, a granola bar, your notebook, pencil, eraser) before you sit down.
Wear comfy clothes and sit in a comfy chair.
Set a goal (time, page count, word count) and establish a reward (a nap, a nice shower, a smoothie). Hold yourself to both.
Don’t feel bad if you get distracted, just get back on track.

Good luck friends! You can do it!
