What if you could eliminate all the distractions that are holding you back?

Imagine every distraction in your life vanished.

That means...
The fears that put your mind on an unproductive track while you're working?
gone

The family situations that step in to occupy time?
Poof.

Your own mind's irritating tendency to wander for an hour before you bring it back to the task at hand?
Never again.

If you could be rid of all distractions and have pure, unadulterated focus...

What would you be doing right now? It doesn't have to be IM. Maybe it's as simple as fixing up the garage, or preparing an incredible dinner for your significant other.

Maybe it's focusing on improving your health and wellbeing.

Whatever it is... please share it!

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say, and no, I'm not selling anything :p

I'm just genuinely curious to see how many people also have a problem with focus... and what it's holding them back from accomplishing... in their own words.

Looking forward to the replies!

    It's a reality that I live each and every single day.

    Describing the incredible experience of it on a daily basis would fill a large book.

      Yes, I struggle with staying focused all the time. More so now that I work at home. I end up seeing something in the house that needs my attention and doing that instead of my business. Sticking to a "to do" list does help when I use it.

    My biggest distraction are the hundreds of emails I receive daily through signing up to many 'giveaways' over the past couple years.

    I've now sorted it by unsubscribing from all but a couple of optin lists.

    This saves me quite a substantial amount of time and allows me to stay focussed on my business plan.

      My unfocused distractions has been a MAJOR problem for many years! I have finally in the past 2 weeks gotten focused and picked ONE thing to focus on, and funny enough, it is the original thing that I wanted to do in the first place before the "years" of distractions!

      If I had just stopped and quit trying to read every single thing I came across, stopped checking email every 3 minutes, stopped surfing for information on anything and everything and just used what I already knew...which is web design I could have most likely been a six figure earner by now....*sigh*

      I would never give up all my family distractions though, so I just work in 2 hour increments and plan my time online and what exact project I'm going to work on, each night I plan my next day by using the Outlook calendar and print it out and paste it right next to my head so I can't miss it, then stick to it.

      What would I be doing right now if I HAD been focused years ago? I would be on a cruise to Jamaica....LOL...
