When your mind is easily distracted you can’t really accomplish much in life, you will start one sentence and end up with something which is irrelevant to what you started, it is like the feather in the wind, when it comes to  long term projects you will accomplish none simply because you can’t focus on your projects. But you must differentiate between multi-tasking and being distracted.

Causes.

Our minds are indeed very complex but once you begin to understand how it works, then you will appreciate its true potential. There are couple of things that maybe the causes of a distractive mind;

• Means of operation; In the car race it is the driver who wins the race and not the vehicle, the way you operate your mind can be a cause of distraction, for example there are people who just do and react to whatever comes in their way, if they are browsing the internet they would respond to anything that displays on the computer, they would chat with anyone who wants to chat, click on any ads that is on the page. This is a mind programming which takes its form and result into a distractive mind.

• Environmental; we all know that in a noisy environment it is almost impossible to concentrate, that is just the tip of the iceberg, as our brain receive a lot of information that we are not even aware of, for example now as you are reading you don’t really pay attention to the temperature of your room, there can be a music playing in the background but you don’t even pay much attention to it, nevertheless your brain receives these information without you knowing.

• Psychological; There are people who have been trying to stay focus all their lives and it was a successful failure to stay concentrated, this is due to their early childhood stages where they grew up in a not so organized environment, which takes form as a distracted pattern  deep within their subconscious mind.

• Lack of self-confidence: Some people are just easily distracted than others because of their personality, as for “means of operation” if you don’t have self-confidence it is easy to be distracted because your mind follows the pattern of your personality and whatever you try to do and get interrupted you will just stop what you are doing and do what others think or want you to do, which will take form and manifest as a distracted mind. And embed deep in your subconscious mind.

• Health, health counts on everything, some other types of food keeps makes you lazy and inactive, and it doesn’t add much nutrients to your body, as you east healthy your brain can repair itself easily and makes new pathways as you program it.

• Genetic; It is true that we inherit some of our parents behaviour, and being distracted easily can be a caused by our own genes, however this can be changed
