We are all adult professionals and very cognizant of the technology-driven intrusion, information overload, and continuously struggle with undesirable distractions. The smartphones and emails and social media tools invariably negatively impact virtually every facet of our lives with overwhelming speed, convenience, and connectivity. I wish you had provided concrete solutions or approached to help readers mitigate or avoid such distractions.
The panacea for the modern unregulated mind and flickering willpower is responsible for waywardness in dealing with these undesirable habits. The solutions lie in starting daily resolves and cultivating will power to deal with intrusions of all kinds. The first step in this direction is merely developing a formal code of etiquette on using the web, social media, and smartphone and timings. After all, we all know the importance of ROI on our finite resource-time and simple etiquette norms, such as best time of the day for focused work and standard etiquettes such as knocking before entering a room, greeting people appropriately based on the time of the day, and offering a warm handshake and not playing with our smartphone while talking or in meetings. Some basics to make a start:
• Prioritizing daily office routines and work and pure awareness and discipline can help check the urge and tendency of the mind to indulge in time-wasting activities such as reading news, playing videos, and interacting on social media and smartphones.
• Cultivate a habit when attending a meeting or office formal settings switch off your phone, turn on silent mode, and, better yet, keep it out of sight.
• Develop conscious awareness on not to check your phone or reply to a text when you are in the middle of a meeting or a conversation.
• We all strive to multitask to improve productivity, but the real sense is a significant drag on productivity, concentration, and focus. Working with concentration and focus can not only improve productivity but would allow us to save time.
• Have a specific time of the day for informal activities and social media and entertainment and stick to it.
• Avoid keeping the phone on the dining table at work or in-home unless something urgent is expected. Eat your meal with attention, and do not let extraneous thoughts or issues impact your ingestion and the company around you.
We must strive to have a balanced existence and live our lives so that we can have that balance—set conventions for going offline, like no calls after 9 pm and no smartphone before going to bed, or when we wake up also no work-related calls on weekends. Just as a Bird can fly only with two wings, people also must strike a balance in their personal and professional lives. We all must also have a judicious balance and dedicated time slots to achieve that end. Following these simple changes of habits would allow us to not only deal with the distractions but also develop strong willpower and focus on being good at both work and relationship and achieving enduring mental peace and rejuvenating experience.

Frankly, it is about maintaining balance, discipline, and understanding that we must set priorities and schedule activities each day and avoid interruptions. Without mental training, planned activities, and daily schedule, we will be like a battery, without time to recharge, we run the risk of depletion of energy stress and weariness. Suppose we are disciplines and always be aware of the imminent interruptions and act responsibly. In that case, we will have the energy, time, focus, and will to avoid the undesirable things we will not only be more productive, efficient and practical but also gain the power to command our time and stay energized and prevent activities and interruptions that restricts our capacity to think and act efficiently.
