Distractions, when you have a big goal, are a part of the territory and require that the individual take a deep and reflective learning journey inside. Distractions, more specifically, giving in to distractions, is actually a self-protect mechanism. We have a goal, yet we allow things to get in the way - why? Because we are afraid of our own success. Instead of letting ourselves down from failure (which we know if we learn from this it's really a win), we distract ourselves from what we are discovering- which can be uncomfortable - and so our mind tries to protect us from discomfort.
