I have one word for everyone. iPad.
This thing has been the single biggest distraction for me ever since our school
decided everyone should have them. Was I skeptical of the iPad at first? Yes I
was. Did I complain about not even wanting it in the first place? Yes I did.
Now, do I use it almost 50% of my day? Yes I do.
It’s almost come to the point where
my iPad is a replacement for my laptop. It’s much more convenient to pull out,
and it had a much longer battery life.
This is really bad for my writing
just because that whenever I turned on my laptop before, I would feel guilty
that I wasn’t working on my story and I might look at a page or two. Now that I’m
not even turning on my laptop, I don’t even feel that guilt.
This is not only a distraction for
my writing, but also for my school work as well. I’ll tell myself, “I’ll just
take a second to check on my Dragonvale game or check my Youtube subscriptions”
and then two hours later, I’m still on my iPad and I’ve accomplished nothing.
So basically, the whole month of
September, I’ve accomplished nothing other than looking into copyrights and
self publishing companies, which although is very useful, has not helped my
make any progress on any of my writing.

I feel you. I recently banned myself from Pinterest because it seemed to suck up basically any free time I had.
