The Two Biggest Distractions – And What to Do About Them | Daniel Goleman

Author's thoughts summarised:
-Distractions are the enemy of FOCUS
-SENSORY & EMOTIONAL are the two varieties of distractions
-Chose between Hopeless Rumination & Useful Reflection
-Author suggests Meditation & avoid causes...
 
How I handle: 

• Cut off 'weapons of mass distraction' (phone, e-mail, social media), 
• Cut of noise (physical & mental), 
• Get some physical exercise (step out & spend time with Nature), and 
• MEDITATE - meditation activates the brain, helps us to relax, improves creativity, helps to control emotions, et al.
