How to keep distractions at bay while blogging

I’ve heard quite a few people say that they switch off the internet when they are blogging. And some say that hit a place like a café to brainstorm for ideas and blog. It seems kind of obvious to say that distractions will cost you a lot of things in any line of work. And in blogging, it’s super-important.

Why? Well, for starters,

• It will cost you time
  
• It will cost you that great idea for a post that you had in mind
  
• It will cost you that great point you wanted in your post
  
• With less concentration, it will ultimately wear you out while blogging
  

You’ll understand what I mean especially if you had one or more of those experiences. It really beats, doesn’t it?

So if these things happen frequently while blogging/brainstorming, the best thing is to avoid them? (duuh!). Let’s see how,

• Turn off the internet while blogging. If it’s impossible, at least get rid of the messenger and your e-mail notifies.
  
• When possible, brainstorm over a cup of coffee at a local café. (One of my favorite things)
  
• If possible, keep a specific time for blogging and blogging alone while keeping a time for brainstorming and brainstorming alone.
  
• Inspiration is more likely to strike at concentrated time periods rather than all day long. So when you write your posts, try to finish as much as possible.
  
• Be passionate about what you’re doing. If you really are, no distraction could ever hold you back.
  

So I guess these tips speak for themselves yeah? If you have any strategies that you utilize to get through distractions, please feel free to comment.
