Prompt: Why do people get so distracted?
This was an incredibly vague prompt so I will write various random reasons. First of what do people get distracted from doing? Driving? Homework? Riding a lion (@sloan)? Many things in our chaotic world can distract us. The stream of information our minds are taking in and processing is never-ending. Right now as I am typing I am distracted by the show Sons of Anarchy which I just started. It is so easy to become distracted from the task at hand because there seems to be more outlets to get off task as the world ages. Also the random things that can distract people interest me. Right now I could look up and see a picture on my bulletin board which could lead me to a thought and that leads to another and another, and so on until you are completely lost in thought. In order to eliminate distractions we need to find out why and what distracts us the most. For example I think sight distracts me the most. I will see something like this picture of me getting my first snowboard at age 9. I love snowboarding and golf. I wonder why golf balls are the size that they are. And why is the hole the size it is. And why do skiers hate snowboarders even though they cut us off just as much as we cut them off. Sorry I got distracted there for a second.
