Go Get It!
- I just 'tell' my mind that I need to be focusing on what I have to do right now, and I prioritize. Self-discipline is necessary in most cases. I guess you have to be motivated first, though!

My Dream Person!
- I think about other people who have suffered from the same distractions, and then I make up my mind to be like them and work hard to stay on track.

relax your mind
- I definitely make a list first. Pick something, then focus my mind on that one thing until it's done. Then physically cross it off my list, and move on to the next item. I feel more accomplished when I can see that long list with everything crossed off. Also, I exercise a couple hours beforehand so I get all that extra energy out and I feel good about myself.

Reward at the end
- I first set the goals and prioritize list of things I need to accomplish. Take a deep breath and try not thinking about other things. Focus my thoughts. When I accomplish the tasks, reward myself with simple things.

Focus
- Focusing is really hard! I usually make a list of what I need to do and I time myself to see how quickly I can address every topic that I need to focus on. Or, I will stay away from distractions until I reach a certain point.

jedi
- Focus is practiced, not ever mastered unless you're a jedi knight or the dalai lama. NO matter how hard you try to focus you will get distracted so you have to plan on that and get things done as fast as you can.
