Distractions of Trinity Life Part 1

I have been walking around campus and all I seem to see in all of the Freshman halls are "What makes you procrastinate" and "How to make sure you stay focused during study time." The biggest thing that I see as a distraction is cell phones. In this blog I will be talking about the best ways I know of and have seen to overcome this problem.
Cell phones in the studying world are man's worst friend. These little devices sometimes can make or break the study time that you have. I have personally not gotten anything done for about twenty to thirty minutes because I was texting two or three people and I just did not want to stop the conversation. The problem is that cell phones are easily able to be put on your lap or close by so then when it goes off then you can stop everything that you are doing and text or talk to whoever you are talking to. Besides wasting time when you could be getting work done, there are many other things that impede you from finishing your work quickly. The best example I can think of is when you are on a roll with your writing that you are doing for a class and you stop to take a text. With taking this text you make yourself think of what to say in the text instead what you are working on. And if you forget about what you are working on then you fall into the horrors of writer's block. Once writer's block falls into play then you decide to take a break in which you text some more. More texting means more time for you to waste. 
The best way I have heard used to overcome this big distraction is to just put the phone far enough away that you will not go up and get it. If you do that then you will not worry about what text you are getting and you will be no distracts or will there still be some? To be continued on my next blog.
