Eliminating Distractions for a Writing Success
January 17th, 2009 | Posted in Freelancing, Work at Home.If you write from the comfort of your home, you should have a place in your house, separate from any other place in your house to eliminate distractions, in order to keep yourself on track for a writing success.
The topic I would like to mention are the most common household distractions that will inturupt you on your way to a writing success. These items should be avoided in order to stay focused.
The biggest distraction is your phone. Since you are home, many people will be inclined to calling you in order to talk, ask you a question, or just to catch up on life. This will take time away from your writing, increasing the amount of time you need to work to finish up an assignment or an article.
The second distraction is your computer itself. Checking your email, keeping a close eye on stocks you have invested in, searching to find out sports information to stay updated, or even reading up on something you would like to know about are all distractions on a computer. If you are into video games, a person would also be tempted to take a break and play a little. Wrong idea!
The third distraction are radios, which can be both a distraction and a helpful supplement you to a writing success. Now, certain types of music can be very beneficial to your writing. This is usually instrumental music that will relax you. Whether it is tropical sounds, or a piece by Mozart, instrumental works of all kinds can help you write with a clear mind. The music I am talking about is distracting sources such as rock, hip hop, alternative, or anything that will make you think more about what is going on in the song, rather than help you write. Radio stations, even if they have instrumental music, are really still sources of distraction, as they have interrupting announcements, and commercials which can intervene with your flow of thoughts. This is why most turn to buying CD’s or downloading from iTunes.
There is one more type of distraction, which is your writing office. I will discuss an ideal type of office you should use for a base guide in order to have the best atmosphere to write in.
Make sure to eliminate distractions out of your writing surroundings, and you can expect to be one more step to a writing success.
