It can be easy to get distracted, especially with all the gadgets you carry around each day. There are hundreds of distractions when you’re driving, even when the kids aren’t in the car with you. Smartphones seem to have become one of the population’s biggest distractions and often distract you from important things like your family, not just your eyes on the road.
To get more focused, one of the first things you need to do is spend less time glued to your screens, whether the computer or your phone. Here are a few things you should always pay attention to safety and enjoying life more.
Where You Are Walking
You can miss many things if you don’t watch where you’re walking. There are many reasons to be aware and look around while walking, whether you’re in a hurry or not. Look at the flowers, say hello to the people you pass by, and enjoy the scenery.
You should also paycould trip or slip and fall when you aren’t. If you’re busy messing around on your phone, you could walk into traffic or another person or even fall off a cliff (that last one depends on where you live, but it is possible).

The Road When You’re Driving
It’s just as important, maybe even more so, to pay attention when you’re driving. Distracted driving kills. It might not kill you, but it could kill other people (other drivers, pedestrians, people riding their bikes). Keep your eyes on the road, keep your hands on the wheel, and keep your mind on driving.
Many factors fall under distracted driving. Whether you’re looking for a CD or flipping radio stations, you’re distracted, and vehicle accidents can happen instantly.
What You’re Typing Online
Please pay attention to what you’re writing online, whether you’re doing it for work or pleasure. Posting status messages on Facebook that are continually full of grammatical errors can make you look bad (and maybe annoy your more scholarly friends). You also want to pay attention to who your friends are and what you’re saying (like posting things with nasty words or graphics when you have young teens on your friend list).
Your Kids
Children can disappear in the blink of an eye, so always pay attention to yourself when you’re out in public. There are many risks, from dashing onto the road to being kidnapped. If you’re near water, they could drown. The nightmares are endless, so keep your eye on them always. You are their parent; that’s part of your job.
