It happens a lot. One sits down intending to get on with some studying but something gets in the way.
Perhaps it's external noise, maybe excessively loud vehicles or neighbours. Maybe it's someone else in the building. It could be the weather. Or perhaps it's a message on the phone. A call even.
Or it could be temptation. The television. A game. Surfing the internet. Or even writing a blog post.
It happens all the time. There's a lot going on out there. And sometimes the material being studied is so tough that any escape is welcome. Every student experiences distractions, no matter how much they may insist it won't be a problem.
There isn't an easy solution. Sometimes I take myself to a library to study, particularly to write assignments, but even there distractions can still happen. Or I might work late into the night so the outside world gets more peaceful and the distractions lessen. At other times the distractions can prove too much and push my plans back.
There's no shame in getting distracted and blown off course from time to time. It happens to use all. Procrastination comes so easily. And there's no single way to avoid it. One just has to keep trying and get to the end eventually.
But one solution is to not write too long a blog post about it!
