Distractions here and there .World is full of distractions and diversions , All pulling us to themselves and Alas we being humans are easily distracted by them . Only if we have deep avidness and passion to do something then we can get rid of this monster of distractions. As we all are attracted towards such charming distractions what we need is to restrict our self , make some rules for us , focus and just focus. It is not that royal road but to achieve such thing we need to move heaven and earth. This is the only way we can fight this monster.

So, one of the best technique I recently found is Pomodoro Technique to fight distractions. This is a world wide technique to deal with distractions along with refreshing oneself after a specific period of time mostly 25 minutes.

Following this technique I accomplished my task of learning 10 chapters of Chinese course.

Firstly I set a timer of 25 minutes on my mobile. I switched off my internet connection as I have to learn from a book. I took all required stuff with me such as my books, notes , a jug of water, some snacks so that I donot get troubled by finding them and going here and there in hush. During my first 25 minutes I faced the distraction of messeges on my sim as I have switched of my internet but not my mobile . I lost my 5 minutes in conversation and yeah I learnt only 3 chapters .

After 25 minutes I took a 3 minutes break and ate chocolate because I have learnt that eating chocolate during studying helps you memorize material more quickly.

Then I again set the timer and this time I put my mobile aside and with full concentration focused on my task. So this time I learnt 4 chapters as I was completely focused then before without affected by distractions . I again took a 3 minutes break and this time I took some snacks to feel more energized . Again after the break I applied the timer for 25 minutes and yeah this time I completed my whole task by learning the remaining chapters .

Yohoo. I did that and it was only possible because I remained focused along with taking little breaks to avoid being exhausted. This technique is obviously so helpful but all depends on your concentration and your passion to achieve your task in a required time . For the next time to avoid breaking my concentration I will definitely put aside my phone .
