I decided to join this prompt from @JonicaBradley which is about distraction. After reading her article about this, I decided to write about this topic since I can relate to this and also I don't have any topic to write today.
What I will be sharing today is about me being lost while writing the drafts of my articles. The number one reason why I lost my focus in writing is because of so many distractions around me. I think everyone can relate to this.
Noise from the Kids
This is mainly the reason why in the middle of writing my drafts, I had to stop because of the kids at home. There are so busy running around the house, shouting and laughing at each other. Instead of focusing, I was distracted by their noise.
Another is the children who pass by our house. This group of children always tried making unnecessary noise whenever they pass by. Instead of talking calmly, they are shouting as if their companions are far away from them. These children also preferred to play near our house because it has a wide area where they can play some outdoor games. Sometimes I will scold them because they are throwing small stones and our house was hit and there was a time that while they are playing one of our kids at home was hit by it near his knee.
Sound of the cars and motorcycles
Our house is near the road. There were times that I get distracted by the sounds of the engines passing by especially those motorcycles that have a loud noise. Sometimes I had to wake up early in the morning so I can continue writing because this is the only time that is so peaceful and I can surely focus on thinking of some ideas to write.
Unexpected Visitors
I have experienced this many times already. I was about to write all those ideas that pops out on my mind but suddenly I heard someone calling my partner's name. Others are those who sell some things like bed sheets, blankets, and some clothes.
Construction Equipment
Just last week, there are many construction equipment arrive in our neighborhood because they are repairing some roads in our area. There are front loaders, big mixers, dump trucks, and road rollers. This creates a loud noise and what distracts me most is when the road roller started moving. As it moves, I can feel some vibrations and it makes me feel dizzy.
These are the top four distractions that I have to undergo every day. It's really hard to focus on writing when there are lots of distractions around but we can't do anything about this because it's already part of our everyday lives.
That's all I can share today. Thanks for reading! Sorry for the inconsistency of my writing, I am still a beginner in this kind of stuff.

Sometimes we just have to learn to adapt to these distractions. Before I used to draft articles in a quiet room until I am able to draft while watching a movie. 😊 Happy New Year BCH_LOVER. Hope you had a wonderful time with your family.
