Let’s talk about distractions

Obviously real quotes by two famous masters of productivity

“Distractions are the vampires of the mind - they drain your focus, suck your energy, and leave you a husk of your former productive self. Be ever vigilant, and drive a stake through their seductive hearts!

— Abraham Van Helsing

“Distractions are the thieves of time and the assassins of ambition. They lurk in the shadows of the mind, waiting to pounce upon your precious moments. Guard your thoughts with the armor of discipline, lest they fall prey to these insidious foes."

— Leonardo da Vinci

THE PROBLEM:

Distractions are the sneaky thieves of our time and energy, constantly pulling us away from what truly matters. They're the invisible barriers standing between us and our goals.
