How to Handle Distractions
• Schedule and block time in your calendar to focus on your planning. This means you’re email-free,
social media-free and phone-free during this time.
• Clean up your emails, unsubscribe from email lists you don’t need.
• As a GOALDigger, have two separate emails for personal and professional use.
• Remove or log out of the social media apps on your phone. If they’re not easily accessible to browse
during the day, you have more time to focus on YOU.
• During your goal-setting time, have your phone on silent and try not to look at/or answer the phone
during this time.
• Find a designated quiet space where you can focus and be comfortable with little to no distractions.
• During the day, give yourself a time-limit to browse social media, once that time is up, SIGN OUT!
• Remember GOALDiggers only have time to focus on accomplishing their goals; there is NO time to
compare your goals with anyone else.
