As a result of such distractions, most of my projects that are supposed to be done in just about an hour get dragged on for more than two to three hours.

For example, while attempting to complete a project I usually start to search random websites and visit Facebook every twenty to thirty minutes. Moreover, this destructive behavior plays a negative role in the time span of the project that need to be completed. I also intend to get distracted in educational setting, especially when they require the use of laptops and cell phones for research and typing purposes. As an example, writing an essay takes me
