A Problem Encountered and how I solve it

Everyone have had a very challenging problem and they even think of a creative way to solve it. For example, doing household chores could be a real problem with some people. However, for me, I encountered a pretty challenging problems recently and I am going to tell you how I used creative ideas to solve my problem.

My problem is distraction. Yes, distraction. Distraction is a very serious problem to me not only during lessons but during my co-curriculum activities or CCA. During lessons, I would normally get distracted by "clowns" in the class. For example, Justin would be creating lots of noise and troublein class. Teachers will normally get annoyed and tick him off which will be taking up precious time. He might even do something wierd that could get the whole class laughing. I find this type of behaviour nonsensical. The class might find it funny, but I fnd it stupid.

During my CCA, concert band, I would normally get distracted by people passing by, making wierd comments. As the band is quite strict, I would get pumped for getting distracted over small little things. I would get angry at myself for letting myself get distracted so easily. Sometimes, I might even curse myself for getting myself into this state.

During personal studying time, I would normally get distracted by people talking me. Being a talkative person, it made me want to join in the conversation. From five minutes to ten minutes to half an hour. Half an hour wasted just on talking. That half an hour could be used for revision or even doing my homework! It was only one of my friends told me that I was easily distracted that I realised that I needed a solution to this annoying problem.

One of the ways could be more focused and concentrated on what I am doing. This will need your mental strength. At the beginning, it might seem difficutlt. However, once you are used to it, you can basically concentrate on anything that you set your mind on. Another method is music. Calm, country music might be able to help you clear your mind and set it on the thing you want to do. You might want to consider Taylor Swift who is an absoutely wonderful female artist who specialises in country music. Songs like Breathe and Fifteen is reccommended.

Hence, I tried both methods. Focusing and music. I carried out this small test for a month, and guess what? It worked. Both methods worked tremendously well. Delighted by my small but essential discovery to solve my long irratating problem, I was rewarded by a huge 'A1' on my Mathematics examination! This problem is finally solved and I owed it all to mental strength and not forgetting, Taylor Swift.
