Distractions are the enemy of high quality work. I can’t achieve focused thought when my phone keeps beeping at me. I don’t fully engage with a book (or even read it) when I’m constantly checking Twitter. Distractions can be comforting, like junk food or trashy movies, since they give you an excuse not to think. Ultimately though, they hold you back and result in a life that isn’t as awesome as it could be. There are many sources of distraction—noise, people, the internet—but your phone is likely one of the biggest.
