Part 1
Distraction means to divert attention of someone from any activity he is already on.

Most times we want to focus on a task or get something done within a given time frame (usually limited), we find that we get involved in other things that share the intended attention for the initial task.

Many a time these other activities are not bad; infact these distractions equally also deserve your attention. 

Take for an example: an Engineer required at work to run the analysis for the construction of sky rising building within 10 working days. The same man has a family to cater for; kids that will cry and disturb if not properly given attention, a wife to care for, and a mother to satisfy.

For this man while trying to focus and meet-up office deadline, by concentrating on the analysis. His kids want to play with daddy, his wife's wants conversation and companion around her husband, he still needs to organize his family. 

Now we see that all these are good but there is a task with limited time, but then all these things he needs to attend to come up. 

How can we help this man scale through all these distractions?

The following tips might be useful yo him

1. Having a long term goal: A long term goal is a result one wants to achieve within a lengthy period. This goal can best be achieved by breaking it down to short term achievement. The successful combination of these short term targets results in an achievement of the long term goal. 

In the case of the man in the example "his long term goal is to complete the analysis before deadline.
He can break-down the work into segments, say 

DAY 1 (TAKE 4hrs TIME FOR ACTIVE WORK): he collects all necessary information needed in the process of analysis; this should include contacts and all arrangements necessary between himself and any other party involved.
This will help him flow along with the job once started, without unnecessary breaks or stops.

2. Having a plan: he can map out a simple and realistic plan for every short term activity/program achievable under the condition at hand. 
In our example if he cannot work under the pressure from his home, he can reduce or reschedule some of his activities in order to produce his required time (4hrs) to achieve his short term plan/program (daily achievement). In this way his returning home leaves just about enough time to spend with his family and other neccesary distraction that must arise.


3. Having a target: looking at something or an end you want to achieve will help you determine and eliminate unnecessary events (Events that would not bring you to that end.) Where possible. Considering our example for him a target is set hence he has to cut off or postpone any social call, or any related event until target is achieved
