One of the most important time wasters is getting back to the work that we just mentally exited five mins back as a result of a text, tweet, e-mail, or telephone call.

Hence the 1st step to managing those distractions is to simply gain a conscious awareness of distractions.

- Sit down and review / plan the day. Begin the day with a centered perspective. - Spend the 1st couple of hours of the day with the telephone, e-mails, and social media OFF.

However, I feel that mindfulness might be a way to address this issue because it allows us to focus on one task and reduce distractions. When I come home from a tiring day at work, I lie down to rest, but soon after, my iPad and iPhone both start ringing to alert me of emails, text messages, phone application updates, and others responding to my social media statuses. So, I take nearly an hour to read and respond to my emails and text messages. Next, I log into my social media accounts (i.e. Twitter and Facebook) and check my notifications, respond to these notifications, and usually someone sends me a message via Facebook, and a long conversation commences. Afterwards, I might spend an hour playing a game called Bubble Witch Saga on my iPhone, thinking that I have to keep playing to achieve level 700—I am only on level 112.
